Fish

Very unusual and ornamental pepper plant is variegated both on the foliage and the peppers themselves. Both leaves and fruit are striped with creamy white and green with the peppers eventually turning orange-red. Very hot fruit 1 to 2 in. long was used to season fish and shellfish in the African-American communities around Baltimore and Philadelphia back in the 1930's and 1940's. Plants are attractive enough just to be used as ornamentals but peppers are prized for use in cooking. 75 days.
