About
Mild conical pepper (~500–600 SHU) that ripens cream → rose → red. AAS winner.
Growing
Compact plant, good for containers. Stake if heavy with fruit.
Harvest
Pick at 3–4 in. Harvest creamy-yellow for the mildest crunch, or wait for the rose-to-red stage for sweeter, fuller flavor. Choose firm, glossy, thick-walled pods, and cut with shears leaving a short stem rather than pulling.
