Product Details
Candy Cane Chocolate Cherry Pepper is a compact sweet mini bell that shows off eye catching green and white variegated foliage and striped fruit. Plants grow 18 to 24 inches tall and 12 to 18 inches wide with a neat upright habit, ideal for containers or garden beds. Peppers are small and thick walled, about 3.5 to 3.75 inches long, ripening from green with creamy stripes to deep chocolate and cherry red. The flavour is crisp and sweet, and the fruit can be enjoyed at any stage. This early variety matures in about 55 to 60 days for green harvest and 70 to 75 days for full colour. Grow in full sun with moderate water and feed every two weeks for best production.
