'Holy Molé' is the first hybrid version of a pasilla pepper, the pepper type used to make the famed Mexican molé sauces. The plant grows to 3 feet tall with immature peppers 7-9 inches long that can be harvested about 85 days from transplanting/ The peppers have a nutty, tangy flavor and if left on the plant will mature to an attractive dark chocolate color. In trials, this pepper showed improved vigor, "earliness," and a considerably higher yield attributed to its resistance to two stunting viruses. It thrives in the heat and also makes a striking container plant.
