Overall Taste Yield Ease	Nassau, New York, United States Frost Free Season: 183 - 203 days Soil Texture: Loam Garden Size: Small - Less than 400 square feet (20' x 20') Sun Exposure: More than 8 hours per day
Very attractive variegated plant. The small peppers were also very attractive and colorful. They change color from striped green to yellow, then orange and finally mature into a beautiful bright red. The plant itself is small and could be used in front of a border for its ornamental qualities. Some insect activity on the leaves, but otherwise, disease free.

Plants and fruit are very attractive. Flavor was good. Fruit walls are quite thin. Plants did not yield as well as hoped for.

Plants were attractive, variegated leaves stood out, but were not very productive, nor very tasty. Not sure if location in crowded bed was an issue.

Peppers had thin walls and weren\'t very juicy. The shape was long and narrow. Taste was OK. I won\'t grow these again.

Nice looking plants with good yield . The cancy cane effect was strange but the pepper tasted fine.
