Holy Mole Pepper
2007 All-America Selection! Holy Mole is the pepper you MUST grow for mole sauce and other Mexican cuisine. A Pasilla pepper, it is mildly hot at 700 Scovilles, with a nutty, tangy flavor you will love. And these very heavy-yielding plants grow armloads of the fruit -- plenty for using fresh or pickling, drying, and grinding into spice!
Holy Mole sets, long, tapered, slender peppers 7 to 9 inches long and just 1 1/2 inches wide at the shoulder. They arise profusely on compact plants 2 to 3 1/2 feet high and 2 1/2 feet wide -- compact enough to tuck among the Tomatoes or even to grow in containers! Terrific resistance to Tobacco Mosaic Virus means even bigger yields from healthy plants. You just can't go wrong with this flavorful, unusual pepper! Pkt is 25 seeds.

Stip
Also called pepper spot, stip isn’t a disease but rather a physiological problem, possibly connected to an imbalance of calcium. It manifests itself as brown or gray spots (later turning green or yellowish) appear on the ripening fruit. It is most common on older varieties but many newer ones are resistant.
