It is one of the eastern European cultivars migrating into this country at the fall of the Iron Curtain. It is from what is now the country of Georgia. It is a green to red pepper, but one of the intermediate stages of color change is white, hence the name. The Capsicum Database lists the heat level as 4, which would be moderate heat. Did not find a vendor with a brief search

Ok, great. But has anyone grown this heirloom type before? If so, what are its merits?

Hi Dave,

You'll probably get a lot more information on Georgia White if you ask this question on the Hot Pepper Forum. I've attached a link to the forum below. And if you've never been to the Hot Pepper Forum: be warned. You, too, may end up with a whole house full of pepper seedlings before very long.

Enjoy,
Bellatrix
