🍬 Sugar Rush Peach Stripey — The Garden’s Fire-Painted Candy

Twisted, striped, and sweetly scorching, the Sugar Rush Peach Stripey is one of the most visually striking peppers ever grown. This Capsicum baccatum variety originated from the Sugar Rush Peach line, first bred in Finland around 2010, and later refined in Wales and the U.S.. In 2015, a U.S. grower spotted a striped mutation among his Peach plants—leading to the birth of this dazzling cultivar.

Pods grow 4 to 5 inches long, often with whimsical curves and a glossy finish. When ripe, they display a deep peach-orange base streaked with vivid red vertical stripes, ranging from pencil-thin to bold brushstrokes. The flavor is tropical and fruity, with notes of citrus and melon, followed by a respectable burn of 25,000 to 50,000 Scoville units—similar to cayenne but with a cleaner, sweeter finish.
