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.
