Buena Mulata-NEW in 2023!
70 days to purple, 90 days to red
'Buena Mulata' is a stunner of a cayenne-type that bears prolifically on tall plants. Fruits start deep purple and morph through a rainbow of creamy yellow, salmon, and orange before fully maturing to red. They can be eaten at any stage (more savory and vegetal towards the purple side of maturity, more sweet and fruity towards the red end) but they pack plenty of heat at any stage.
This pepper variety has a rich history that highlights the importance of seedsaving, culinary and cultural traditions, and community. It’s a long story, but it involves famous black artist Horace Pippin who traded seeds to William Woys Weaver’s grandfather in exchange for “bee sting therapy” for an old war wound! Look it up!
