Isn’t she pretty????? Pointed, wedge-shaped fruit is purple streaked with pale yellow. This heirloom came from a Russian seed trader. It begins with chartreuse, evolving to purple with tan/yellow streaks and then to red. Lovely and delicious, sweet, crisp and thick-walled.
A unique looking pepper with excellent yields, great size for roasting, bbq, fresh eating. Sweet but very firm. Would be good for pickling and sautées very well. Plants are short with many uniform fruits.
The reviews I’ve read all say they love this pepper. I can’t wait to try it.
Growing Note: They had excellent germination and were very healthy.

Pretty? . . . . more like weird. I tend to be less discriminating with peppers than with tomatoes, because, except for the very hot ones, I have not found one that I dislike. (The ridiculously hot ones really are weird.)
