Get your hands on the Honey Badger Rocoto Pepper, a fascinating variety of the Manzano Pepper, celebrated for its robust flavor and impressive adaptability. Native to the cloud forests of Central and South America, this smaller rocoto variety thrives in cooler summer weather (although we got it to grow fairly well in the Georgia heat, purposely positioning it for only morning sun), making it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a versatile and satisfying chili pepper.
Whether you’re an avid grower or someone who appreciates bold and fruity peppers, the Honey Badger Rocoto Pepper is the ideal addition to your garden.
