About
Compact ornamental-edible covered in small upright peppers ripening green → red. Hot (~40,000 SHU).
Growing
Excellent in containers. Plants get loaded with 100+ peppers.
Harvest
Pick pods at 2–2.5 in. Harvest green for milder heat or fully red for peak heat and drying. Choose firm, glossy, upright pods, cutting the stem rather than pulling. Pick continuously to keep the plant setting fruit; the red pods dry well for crushed red pepper.
