This poetic name – Copperhead – was given to this striking cultivar by its creator, Blane Horton from Mississippi. The name refers to the Mexican moccasin pit viper, whose skin has a vivid bronze-red ochre sheen. Dwarf Copperhead was introduced to the market in 2010. It is a descendant of the Rumpelstiltskin line, which also produced such remarkable varieties as Pit Viper and Aftershock.

Fruits are round and ribbed on the upper two-thirds. The skin is copper-red with green shoulders. The flesh is juicy with a red-pink center and green gel. Excellent, rich, and well-balanced flavor. A dwarf plant with regular rugose foliage and indeterminate growth. Good and steady yield. Suitable for growing in large pots.
