These open pollinated chili peppers have a well balanced, sweet, fruity, citrus, and spicy flavor. These peppers are 4-6 inches average and excellent for both fresh eating and sauces. They can also be dried into a slightly hot chili powder. It is best to stake these plants as they can get weighed down with chilis!
Planting/Harvesting Notes

Seed Saving
To save seed, allow pepper to turn orange or red on the plant, carefully cut the pepper apart (disposable gloves recommended!), extract the seeds and allow to dry on a flat surface such as a baking sheet, paper plate, drying screen, etc. Store labeled seeds in a paper envelope in a cool dry place.
