Re: This is called 'Willy Pepper'
This is a true heirloom pepper. The have been kept for a couple hundred years, but seeds were never sold. People that had them were a little secretive. They were passed down from one generation to the next and occasionally shared.
Since we have become less puritanical in recent years they are being sold by several companies. I bought a pack of seed 4 years ago. They produced a large fall crop. Most are like jalapeno but a few are hotter and some are very mild.
I think traditionally there were best known as peter peppers. I have seen seed sold under several names using the exact same picture. Copywrite??
