Often recognized for its resemblance to a bishop's miter or crown, this pepper adds an exotic touch to both gardens and culinary creations. Its flavor is mild yet sweet, making it a versatile choice for those who enjoy a pepper with more flavor than heat.
With a heat level of 1,000 to 10,000 Scoville heat units, the Bishop Crown offers a medium heat that works well in a variety of dishes, including salsas, chutneys, and sauces, without overwhelming the palate. Its sweet, slightly fruity flavor makes it an excellent addition to both spicy and savory meals.
The peppers grow to about 2 to 3 inches in size, and they start green before ripening to a brilliant red or orange, offering a burst of color to any garden. The plant itself is bushy and can grow up to 3 feet tall, making it a great option for container gardening or smaller spaces.
Bishop Crown plants are productive, yielding numerous fruits throughout the growing season. The time from flowering to fruit ripening is approximately 90 to 100 days, and the plant thrives in warm, sunny conditions.
