Heirloom Pepper Varieties

Heirlooms are the peppers with histories: open-pollinated varieties preserved across generations, prized for flavor and story over uniformity. The trade-off is real and worth knowing before you plant, almost none carry bred-in disease resistance, so success leans on rotation, sanitation, and airflow rather than genetics.
