The Czechoslovakian Black (Czech Black) hot peppers are a rare variety that is well loved for its mildly spicy heat.

At 2,000-5,000 Scoville units, this open-pollinated heirloom has just a bit of heat, mostly in the ribs and seeds and just right for many of us who don’t want a really hot pepper, but something with a nice flavor. Very juicy small 21/2″ long pepper the shape of a jalapeno, black in color, finally turning to a garnet color if allowed to ripen fully. A manageable 2.5 to 3′ bush. (65 days).
