Description

Hot peppers love the Alabama summer and actually build more heat under dry, sunny stress than under constant coddling. Plant into warm soil, mulch, and stake taller varieties, since a loaded plant can split at the crotch during a storm. Pick regularly at the green stage for milder flavor, or leave fruit on the plant to color up for full heat and sweetness. Shipped in a 4" Pot, well-rooted from our Lineville, Alabama nursery.
Specifications
  • Mature size: 24-36 in tall, 18-24 in wide
  • Grows best: Outdoors - Grown as an annual in all zones
  • Pet safety: Foliage toxic to pets if ingested; fruit is safe but the capsaicin heat will irritate them
  • Sourcing: Nursery-grown by Wade Greens; ships healthy from our Lineville, Alabama nursery to the lower 48 states.
Care Instructions
  • Light: Full sun, 8+ hours
  • Water: 1 in per week, consistent
  • Soil: Warm, well-drained loam of moderate fertility with adequate calcium and a pH of 6.2-6.8.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly at planting and again at first fruit set; too much nitrogen makes leaves instead of peppers.

Shipping & Returns

Shipping Policy Everything at Wade Greens is grown and packed by hand at our farm and nursery in Lineville, Alabama. How an order travels depends on what's in it.

Where we ship Plants, trees, bulbs, and merchandise ship anywhere in the lower 48 United States — houseplants, succulents, garden plants, saplings, flower bulbs, and apparel. We do not ship to Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. territories, P.O. boxes, or international addresses.
Fresh produce, microgreens, and cut flowers are available for local delivery and pickup in Alabama only. Because these items are perishable and picked at peak freshness, we do not ship them outside Alabama. You'll find our fresh items at local farmers markets and through local delivery and farm pickup.

Processing & handling
Orders are prepared fresh, so please allow 1–3 business days for us to pack and dispatch. Live plants and perishable items ship early in the week whenever possible to avoid sitting in transit over a weekend. You'll receive tracking by email as soon as your order is on its way.

Live plants & perishable items
Our plants are living things and are packed with care to travel safely. Minor leaf drop or a little travel stress is normal and typically resolves within a week or two of settling in. If a plant arrives damaged, email us within 48 hours of delivery with a photo and we'll make it right. Fresh produce, microgreens, and cut flowers are best enjoyed soon after delivery or pickup — please refrigerate on arrival.

Local delivery & pickup
Local Alabama customers can choose delivery or farm pickup at checkout on eligible items. We'll reach out to coordinate a time. Pickup is at our Lineville, Alabama farm.

Email support@wadegreens.com and we'll help however we can.
