Product Description
The Peppapeach Stripey is a uniquely flavorful pepper with a sweet, fruity taste and a hint of spice. First discovered by Matt Layton in 2021, this variety stands out for its striking appearance—peach-colored pods that develop vibrant red stripes and speckles as they ripen. Each pepper features a one-of-a-kind pattern, ranging from bold stripes to delicate red flecks.
Beyond its eye-catching looks, the Peppapeach Stripey offers mild heat and a fruity sweetness, making it a great addition to salads, salsas, and other dishes that benefit from a balance of sweetness and spice. The plants are highly productive, ensuring a steady harvest of these beautifully striped peppers throughout the season. Ideal for both culinary and ornamental use, this variety is a fantastic choice for gardeners and chefs who enjoy distinctive, flavorful peppers.
While it hasn’t been officially tested, the Peppapeach Stripey is estimated to have an average heat level of around 1,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). Renowned pepper grower Chris Fowler has also played a role in stabilizing this variety. The "Stripey" pattern is a natural mutation seen in other peppers, including the Sugar Rush Stripey and Zebrange.
Our plants are Grown the Natural Way: no pesticides, no synthetic fertilizers, and we only use all-natural fertilizers such as worm castings and fish emulsion.
Shipped in a 3-inch pot, the plant arrives at 4 to 6 inches tall, ready to be transplanted into your garden or a larger container.

Great experience as first time buyer
I could tell a lot of care went into growing and shipping this plant. It’s now happily settled into my garden, and I can’t wait to see it start producing. Definitely a standout addition to my collection!

Great job!
I was honestly a little nervous placing my first order from Exotic Pepper Nursery—I’d never ordered live plants online before, and wasn’t sure what to expect. But I’m so glad I took the chance! The PeppaPeach Stripey Pepper arrived in perfect condition—healthy, vibrant, and carefully packaged. You can tell they really care about their plants. The variegation on the leaves is stunning, and I’m super excited to watch it grow and (eventually) try the peppers. It's even more beautiful in person than in the photos! Shipping was prompt, and everything was well-communicated throughout the process. This experience turned my nerves into confidence...I’ll definitely be ordering again.
