One of the most unusual peppers you can grow! Bishop’s Crown is an heirloom Capsicum baccatum known for its distinctive three-sided, crown-shaped pods. The peppers ripen from green to brilliant red and have a sweet, fruity flavor with a surprising spicy kick. The vigorous, productive plants can grow quite large up to 4 ft. tall and produce an abundance of eye-catching 1-1/2 in. x 2-1/2 in. wide peppers throughout the season. With heat around 5,000–15,000 SHU, Bishop’s Crown offers plenty of flavor without overwhelming heat. Excellent for fresh eating, pickling, stuffing, salsas, and hot sauces.

Originating from beautiful Barbados, the Bishop Crown produces attractive white flowers with greenish-yellow markings, making it not only a culinary delight but also a stunning addition to any landscape.

Customers praised these seeds for their excellent germination rate and unique shape that serves as a "conversation piece." Shoppers noted the peppers have great flavor and moderate heat, perfect for salsa and hot sauce. Plants grow tall (4-5 feet) with high yields, though slow initially. Timely delivery and quality seeds.

Germination rate was amazing! These plants were between 4-5 foot tall and had about a 3.5-4 foot spread.

So Far, So Good

I almost ordered these seeds from an Amazon retailer, but then saw a bunch of bad reviews about delivery time. These were a little bit more expensive, but worth the extra buck to be confident I would get what I ordered in a timely manner. Seeds sprouted quickly and excited to add this to my collection.

Wicked shape

Great shape and spice level in this pepper. Conversation piece.

Pepper trees!

I bought these seeds because it looked weird and was spicy. Germination rate was amazing! I used them in both fermented pepper sauce and a southern vinegar pepper sauce. They are warm! The plants were slow to grow, but they grew and grew...and then grew some more. Once they hit a certain point, they started to flower. All over. These plants were between 4-5 foot tall and had about a 3.5-4 foot spread. There were so many peppers I couldn’t keep up, and had friends come get some several times. They made, and made...and made. I probably still have some hanging on the plant in the greenhouse and next week is Christmas! 10/10 - don’t start all the seeds unless you have space for the plants haha.

Unusual Pepper - UFO!

I think these look like little UFOs. I give away lots of my harvest to friends and these always are conversation starters, everyone wants to know what they are! They are spicy but not too spicy, so I like to use them in salsa.

Fun, rare pepper

This is a fun pepper to grow, everyone always comments on it's unusual shape and most people have not seen the peppers before. We grew these for our farmers market stand and we sold out of them first thing - everyone loves the fun little hat shapes and their bright color. Thanks for the good seeds.

Fun shape!!

Lots of the gardeners in my community garden asked me what these unusual peppers were – they have such a fun shape! It's fun to grow a conversation starter. Great flavor and heat, too, I made them into fermented hot sauce.
