The Charleston Hot Pepper was created by the U.S. Department of Agriculture scientists in Charleston, South Carolina. Plants can grow to 38-91 cm (15-36”) tall in ideal growing conditions and produce heavy yields of 9 cm (3 ½") long by 2 cm (¾") wide peppers, that are yellowish-green to yellow to orange and finally red when mature. They are almost as hot as Habaneros and a favorite for making hot sauce. The Charleston Hot pepper has a Scoville heat unit rating between 70,000-100,000 SHU which is 9-40 times hotter than a Jalapeno pepper.

Additional Information
When peppers are finished growing they will pull off the plant very easily. If they don't come off easily they are still growing. To prolong a pepper harvest, harvest peppers from the plant regularly. Peppers are susceptible to rot, blossom end rot, anthracnose, tobacco mosaic virus, bacterial spot, and mildew. Keep these in check and rotate pepper crops to different areas. Keep the garden clean and free of weeds where pests and diseases can shelter. Destroy and dispose of infected plants before diseases can spread. Aphids, cutworms, and flea beetles are common pests for most garden plants and there are a variety of solutions for these. Pepper seeds can be dipped in a dilute hydrogen peroxide mix (1 tsp hydrogen peroxide per cup water) for one minute to disinfect seeds prior to planting. This process helps get rid of any unwanted or potential bacterial or fungi that may be hitch hiking on your seeds. If your soil or seed sprouting setup is susceptible to mold growth this can be useful to kill the mold spores. |
