This East Asian variety is usually considered a sweet pepper, but it’s included here because about 10% of its fruits are spicy hot. Compact plants are ideal for containers and produce huge yields of slender, glossy, light green fruits. Can’t be beat when tossed with a tiny bit of olive oil and cooked over a grill.

Love these!

My husband and I love the taste of these peppers and have had great success with them in the garden! I do use a heat mat to help with germination.
