How to grow

Start seeds indoors 8 to 10 weeks before the last frost and transplant into full sun once the soil is warm. Peppers thrive in heat, and consistent watering with warm days produces the heaviest yields. Harvest green for milder flavor or leave on the plant to ripen red for added sweetness.

Flavor profile

Bright and grassy when green with a clean medium heat that deepens and sweetens as the fruit ripens to red.
