Intrigued by these in the SeedSaverExchange Catalog. We started several of these for family members for their colorful display. Small 10–12" plants, purple and green foliage, tapered fruits 1½" long. Upright fruiting habit, ripens from lavender to deep purple to orange and finally to red. Very nice for containers. 60–75 days from transplant. Heat •3• Very cute and plentiful yield. They do put a snap in a dish when you use a couple seeded and minced.
