| I got a very large harvest on the two plants I grew last year, even though they were less than 2 ft. high! The fruit is very hot to me (I don't think it qualifies as a "superhot" but I have accidentally made stir fries too hot for my wife to eat simply by using only 2 or three peppers). They did exceptionally well in a summer that was very cool in the pacific northwest, while other varieties that I grew did rather badly. If this can grow well here, it should grow even better elsewhere! |

| This pepper is very easy to grow and produces whole bunch of little thin walled green ripening to red peppers. The first year I grew them I was able to get two full harvests. The are fairly hot. The flavor is ok. They turn red pretty quickly. The name means chicken heart but they don't exactly look like their namesake. I pickled them and they retained their heat. The plant is bushy (well branched) with small leaves. |
