Great in cooler weather
by Stephanie
First time I started peppers from seed. Just used my indoor small greenhouse. We live in the Pacific Northwest. So already not warm. And we have had a very cool summer for the most part. I will say that this pepper is amazing. It has (with the exception of another pepper) been an amazing performer in this weather! Once I transitioned outside in late April. By far the most fruit and definitely started sooner than any other pepper. I am excited to continue growing these peppers!
Easy, Productive & Beautiful!
by 6B Gardener
Very productive, beautiful color, easy to grow. Have two plants I have basically ignored and they are happy as can be! Have been great in stir-frys and held up well in a beef slow cooker meal.
Just as good as described
by Jalyn
These are just as described- productive, sweet (with just a tiny hint of kick), thick walled. I live in northern Michigan & have great success with these. I got them to dry for paprika, which is great, but also are wonderful for cooking, eating fresh, canning, & freezing. Sweet but bland when white, but continue ripening after picked when the season comes to an end. They keep well & are quite pretty too! Absolutely great!
4/29/21 and all is not well
by Michael Y.
Not really impressed so far...purchased a packet of seeds in early '21 and the germination rate has been sub par at best. Out of 22 seeds sown, I've had a grand total of 4 sprout. I got better germination from a 2 year old packet of jalapeño seeds that wasn't really taken care of sown in the same tray at the same time...
