Bishop Crown is a unique thin-skinned red pepper with the unusual appearance of a tri-cornered hat like a Catholic Bishop’s Crown. The heat level has a very wide range from a medium 5,000 Scoville heat units (SHU), all the way up to a very hot 15,000 SHU.  Its small size is 1-1/2” long by 2”- 3“ wide with a sweet and fruity taste. Bishop Crown originates from Barbados and is a large plant reaching almost 4’ in height. The long branches may require support when fully laden with pods. As part of the Baccatum family of peppers it has attractive white flowers with greenish- yellow markings. 

Capsicum baccatum (90 days) Heirloom - Open Pollinated

Heat Level: Med.-Very Hot Scoville: 5,000-15,000

~ Packet contains 10 seeds. 

In early spring, start seeds indoors 8 weeks prior to warm nightly temperatures. Place the seeds in sterile media and cover 1/4” deep. Provide 85°F bottom heat, bright light and keep moist at all times. Seeds will germinate in 7 - 21 days. Transplant seedlings into pots and grow until there are 6 true leaves on the plant. Plant them directly into rich soil, 30” apart or into large 5 gallon containers. Harvest peppers when they are red. 


All of our seeds are GMO-free.
