Pepper - Rooster Spur

The Rooster Spur pepper is a cherished heirloom hot pepper preserved by the Ainsworth family of Laurel, Mississippi, for over a century.

Known for its small, upright red fruits and fiery heat, it played a central role in traditional Southern Cooking. 

The pepper’s bold flavor and ornamental beauty make it a favorite among heirloom gardeners. Thanks to the Ainsworths’ dedication, the Rooster Spur remains a living piece of Southern food heritage.
