gardens. The golden plumes can be woven into a garden bed like a living
tapestry because the plumes have a soft layered texure. 'Fresh
Look Gold' proved to be heat, humidity and rain tolerant in AAS
Trials across North America. Plants will grow to a height of one foot.

Pepper F1
|
" Holy Mole'
|
| Botanical Name: Capsicum annuum |
|
'Holy Mole' is a memorable name
and the plant will provide a memorable harvest of peppers. It is the
first hybrid pasilla-type pepper, which is used to make the famous mole
sauce. 'Holy Mole' showed improved vigor, earliness and considerably
higher yield than the comparisons in side-by-side trials. A reason for
the higher yield is the virus resistances bred into the variety. 'Holy
Mole' is resistant to two common viruses that stunt plants and reduce
pepper production. The immature green peppers are 7- 9 inches long and
can be harvested in about 85 days from transplanting. If fruit is left
on the plant, they will mature to a dark chocolate color. The pepper
flavor is nutty and tangy. Mature plants are 3 feet tall; a perfect
size for patio containers. 'Holy Mole' is easily grown in a sunny
location and thrives on summer heat.
