Introducing the Big Bang Space Pepper, Hangjiao 9 (HJ9)—a truly out-of-this-world chili experience! Known as "space pepper" in Chinese, Hangjiao showcases the innovative spirit of the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ space program. This extraordinary variety is part of a ten-pepper series sent into orbit by Jiang Xingcun since 1987, and the HJ9 is the 9th gem in this cosmic collection!

These impressive peppers grow long and twisted, measuring between 7 to 16 inches, starting as vibrant green pods and transforming into a rich red when fully ripe. With plants reaching up to 3 feet tall, you’ll enjoy an abundant harvest of flavorful peppers. The fresh pods offer a delightful mild flavor, boasting a satisfying crunch that makes them perfect for snacking—though some may surprise you with a touch of heat!

Ideal for fresh eating, these sweet to mildly spicy peppers are not only delicious but also a unique conversation starter, bringing a taste of space to your garden. With a growth cycle of just 70 to 100+ days and open-pollinated seeds, the Big Bang Space Pepper is a must-have for adventurous gardeners and spice enthusiasts alike!
