{"product_id":"pepper-hot-buena-mulata","title":"Hot Pepper Seeds, Buena Mulata","description":"\u003cp\u003e(\u003cem\u003eCapsicum annuum\u003c\/em\u003e) A very rare, extremely productive, and stunning hot pepper being offered exclusively through Baker Creek! William Woys Weaver introduced us to this pepper from his grandfather's collection. His grandfather received the pepper from African-American painter Horace Pippin in 1944. Chameleon-like, it undergoes color changes during ripening, from violet to pink, then orange to brown, and eventually to a deep red. The long, round pods reach 6 to 7 inches long and undergo a unique flavor change as they ripen, with the reds being more sweet and meatier than the violet. The stunning plants also make wonderful potted specimens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e Buena Mulata is an heirloom pepper that grows best in rich, well-draining soil. It prefers full sun; however, it can benefit from some afternoon shade during intense summer heat. Starting seeds can take patience, so using a heat mat set to 80 degrees F can help speed up germination. Adding a support stake can also help manage the weight of this productive plant as it begins to bear peppers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59511019995422,"sku":"HPP500","price":4.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2280\/5022\/files\/pepper_hot_buena_mulata.jpg?v=1782393837","url":"https:\/\/www.rareseeds.com\/products\/pepper-hot-buena-mulata","provider":"RareSeeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
