This is the biggest yield I ever had from a sweet pepper and I typically grow about 6 different varieties every year. It has a subtle, mild taste, but the skin didn't get tough like other varieties tend to do in our hot weather. I got more peppers from this one (container!) plant than almost all the other varieties combined, even though I used only minimal amounts of fertilizer. I will definitely grow this one again.

Similiar to Gypsy, but smaller. Not a robust flavor, subtle. Fruit uniform, but quality seemed to have flaws. Yield may be sensitive to weather, I had a lot of them last year, very few 3 years ago. The ripe color was an intense red orange that was most attractive. Lots of comments on the beautiful color of the ripe peppers.

good producer often having 6 to 8 peppers per plant. not overly flavorful but cooking helps. germinates well inside and transplants easily. freezes well for soups, meatloaf, casserole dishes.

Have only grown in for two years. First year was very good. This year didn't get much of anything - but didn't get many peppers at all. Too wet. Too cold. I'm rating it at 3 stars because it is fun and different.
