Overview
Georgia Flame is an heirloom from the Caucasus nation of Georgia, not the U.S. state. Plants about 24 inches tall carry thick-fleshed, tapered pods 6 to 8 inches long and 2 inches at the shoulder that ripen from green to a glossy deep red. The flavor is fruity with heat at the sweet-hot border, about like a mild jalapeno. Because the thick flesh holds up over flame, it is excellent for roasting and grilling, and it makes a good salsa pepper. Start seed 8 to 10 weeks before the last frost and transplant once nights are above 55F; plants are vigorous and heavy bearing in warm soil.
