A unique miniature Bell Pepper that is mildly hot when fruits turn red. These peppers are compact, easy to grow and adapt well to a container or small garden planting. Another plus is their dark green foliage and ability to set fruit even under hot humid conditions. Each plant yields 25 to 30 fruit and can be eaten fresh or cooked. “A word to the wise,” cautioned one judge, “plant these opposite sides of your garden from your sweet bells – I only absentmindedly confused the two once!”
Start seeds 6-8 weeks prior to transplant target date. Keep temperatures at above 65degrees F for good germination and seedling growth. Transplant outside when night temperatures are over 50 degrees F. Space them 2 – 3 feet apart under full sun. Will require stalking.

An adorable little pepper with great flavor. Good as an ornamental as well as an edible.
