Know before you buy
No, these are sweet peppers. Despite their dramatic appearance, they lack heat and are prized for their mild, sugary flavor profile.
These are prolific, tall-growing plants. Because of their height and the weight of the 8-to-10-inch fruit, you should plan to provide staking or a cage to keep the plants upright.
While you can harvest them green, they reach their peak sweetness and full flavor profile once they ripen to their signature deep red color.
Their thin skin and sweet flesh make them ideal for grilling or sauteing, as they soften quickly and develop a rich flavor. They are also excellent sliced raw into salads for a crisp, sweet crunch.
These peppers have a relatively quick maturity time of 68 days from transplanting, making them a great choice for gardeners looking for an earlier harvest.
