About this pepper

Peter Penis x Rubber Nipple is an Australian seller-circulated chilli line documented as a cross variety created from Peter Penis and Rubber Nipple, the latter also sold as Chupetinha, Chupetinho, or Biquinho. It is presented as a novelty hybrid built around unusual pod form, combining the elongated, wrinkled Peter Pepper parent with the small nipple-shaped Brazilian parent.

The Peter parent side is described with pods about 8 to 12 cm long and about 2 to 3 cm wide, ripening from green to red, while the Rubber Nipple parent is described with small fruits about 2 to 3 cm long and about 15 mm wide. As a named cross, it is sold for its bizarre fruit shape and edible use rather than for ornamental foliage traits alone.

Seller cultivation notes for this line describe an outdoor chilli with a clumping habit, medium watering needs, and tolerance for full sun to partial shade. Seeds are sold with instructions calling for a minimum germination temperature of 20°C, sowing depth of 5 mm, and a germination window of about 3 to 5 weeks.

A major identity conflict exists around this name. The exact x-form name is sold on eBay as a true cross variety created from Peter Penis and Rubber Nipple, but the same seller also uses a nearly identical name on its own website for a combo packet containing 20 seeds total, split as 10 seeds from each parent variety rather than a hybrid seed line.
