The Sugar Rush Peach Stripey is a cutting-edge and highly stable phenotype within the Capsicum baccatum species, a chilli genus celebrated for its distinct fruity flavours and often vibrant colours. It emerged from the same innovative breeding program in Wales, UK, by Chris Fowler, who developed the original Sugar Rush Peach. The "Stripey" characteristic is a spontaneous genetic mutation or careful selective breeding, resulting in the eye-catching variegated pods. It represents the pinnacle of combining exceptional flavour, balanced heat, and truly unique aesthetics within the C. baccatum family.

Quantity of Seeds 10 seeds per packet
Origin Wales, UK
Genus Capsicum baccatum
Scoville Rating/Heat Level the Sugar Rush Peach Stripey delivers a very respectable and noticeable heat. It typically registers between 50,000 to 100,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). This places it firmly in the medium-hot to hot category, comparable to a strong cayenne pepper or a good Bird's Eye chilli. The heat is quick and sharp, providing a satisfying kick that is beautifully balanced by its sweetness, making it incredibly versatile for a wide range of dishes without being overwhelming for most chilli enthusiasts.
Plant Size The Sugar Rush Peach Stripey plant is a vigorous and often large, sprawling grower, typically reaching a height of 90-150 cm (3-5 feet). It develops a sturdy main stem and numerous lateral branches, often benefiting from staking or support due to its impressive productivity and the weight of its abundant fruit.
Pod Size The pods are visually distinctive and incredibly appealing, a true work of art. They are elongated and somewhat irregular in shape, often with a slightly pointed or convoluted end, typically measuring 5-8 cm (2-3.2 inches) in length and 2-3 cm (0.8-1.2 inches) in diameter. They ripen from a light green, developing striking peach or salmon-coloured stripes over a creamy or pale yellow base, creating a mesmerizing variegated pattern when fully mature. Each pod is a unique mini-masterpiece.
Flavour

This is where the Sugar Rush Peach Stripey truly excels! Beyond its satisfying heat and captivating appearance, it boasts an incredibly unique and intensely aromatic flavour profile, characteristic of premium Capsicum baccatum varieties. It delivers a pronounced fruity sweetness, often described as having distinct notes of peach, apricot, or even tropical fruit, combined with a bright, almost citrusy zest and a pleasant, clean chilli background. The "stripey" nature doesn't just add colour; some enthusiasts report an even deeper, more complex fruity nuance. This remarkable balance of sweet and heat makes it exceptionally versatile for fresh salsas, gourmet fruit-based hot sauces, desserts (yes, desserts!), ceviches, and even as a delicious, eye-catching addition to salads or grilled dishes. It’s a truly gourmet and artistic chilli.
