    Features

    This sturdy, robust pepper produces large quantities of spicy, fleshy fruits that point upwards as they develop and mature. Transitioning from trendy black to luscious red as they ripen, these glossy peppers are as attractive as they are tasty. A strong upright habit makes this variety easy to grow in patio and balcony pots, raised beds and in-ground gardens.
