Orion Pepper Seeds
Orion Pepper Seeds are more than just a way to grow peppers; they represent a journey through color and flavor. Hailing from the imaginative crossbreeding expertise of Rocco Maltesi in Italy, these seeds promise a pepper plant like no other. Originally named as the result of a vibrant three-way cross – Fatalli Gourment Jigsaw x Big Red Mama x Yaki Blue Fawn – Orion pepper plants boast a spectacular visual display. Their dark purple branches and veins in the foliage create a contrasting backdrop for the striking multicolor peppers. These peppers undergo a captivating color transformation, starting green, shifting to dark purple, transitioning to light brown, and finally settling on a molten red.
The peppers cultivated might sometimes present variations in colors and shapes due to the unknown filial generation, but rest assured, our seeds have consistently grown true, and we anticipate the same success for you. Due to their uniqueness and demand, Orion Pepper Seeds are highly sought after, making them a fast-selling item every season.

Sam –
Very cool looking mostly purple plants and the color change of the peppers as they matured was very unique! Flavor was best when I waited until the peppers were the reddish color. Super hot!
