| Good producer. Produced both red and green peppers. Red- hotter than expected, Green- less hot than red, but still hotter than expected. Would use it cooked. Very good in gazpacho. |

| Tried this pepper twice during the season, and found it sweet the first time, and medium spicy the second time. We did not find it very flavorful, like we find a green bell pepper flavorful. So we wouldn’t recommend it . The plants grew well with no pests. |

| Transplanted into Black Fabric Container Beds, as planting instructions mentioned black fabric being ideal to help these grow. Peppers never grew much more than original transplant size. Each of our 2 transplants had 1 flower that did successfully grow to a lovely long pepper (approx 3 inches long) and turned from green to red. Pepper was delicious and sweet in the front but had a milder heat that appeared after a few minutes from eating. I don\'t believe we\'ll see more peppers from this plant. Did not have good luck growing this variety at all, but the fruit we did get was great. |
