Description
(Capsicum baccatum). An amazing combination of a fruity flavor with some added fire! A sumptuous snacking pepper, Sugar Rush Peach is by far the most fun pepper to eat. The long, peach-colored fruit is packed with loads of super sweet, tropical flavor, and the seeds bring a smoky, complex heat that creates a wild flavor experience unparalleled in any pepper we have tried. This exciting new open-pollinated variety was bred by hot pepper prodigy Chris Fowler of Wales.

The result: super early, high yields of these exquisite sweet-hot peppers.

Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
The Sugar Rush Peach is an heirloom pepper that grows best in nutrient-rich, well-draining soil, with moderate moisture. The plants prefer full sun; however, during the hottest summer weather also appreciate a bit of afternoon shade, especially in hotter climates.
When to Grow
This warm-weather pepper should be started indoors in bright light 8-12 weeks before the last frost date. Transplant outdoors only after the last frost, ideally when temperatures don’t drop below 65 F. Checking local frost dates can help determine the ideal transplanting time, particularly in regions with cooler climates.
How to Sow and Plant
Begin by starting seeds indoors, planting them 1/4 inch deep in seed starting mix. Maintain warm soil using a heat mat if needed, as peppers germinate best in consistent warmth. Once seedlings reach 2–3 inches in height, transplant them outdoors into a full-sun location, spacing plants 14-18 inches apart in well-draining, nutrient-rich soil. Given their potential height, these plants may need staking to support their growth.
How to Grow
Sugar Rush Peach peppers need 8-12 hours of direct sunlight daily and should be watered consistently, allowing the soil to dry slightly between watering to prevent root issues. Apply a balanced fertilizer every few weeks during the flowering and fruiting stages to support healthy growth and maximize yield. Pruning lower leaves promotes air circulation, helping to prevent disease, and additional support can help taller plants bear the weight of their fruit. Peppers will mature in about 120 days, developing a distinctive peach color when ripe.
How to Save
- Peppers are mainly self-pollinating, but bees occasionally work pepper flowers as well.
- To be absolutely sure that you will not have any crossing, different varieties should be isolated by at least 500 feet.
- It is a good idea to wear gloves when working with very hot peppers, and to consider wearing a mask when working with a large quantity of dried seeds.
- To save seed, allow the fruit to mature fully; then simply remove seeds.
- Let seeds dry for a week before storing them in a jar.
- Pepper seeds will remain viable for up to 5 years.
