Absolutely darling and customers fall in love when they see them. Each plant is full of 1" - 3" size pure chocolate colored sweet peppers. No, they don't taste like chocolate but like a sweet red pepper. Fun stuffed for appetizers, roasted, in salads or any use for a normal sweet pepper ... just funner! They ripen to their full chocolate color faster than other colored peppers so they are great for cooler spots like here in the Northwest.

First come, first serve! Grows 3-4' tall, does best if sown directly where it will grow since the roots resent being disturbed. Annual. Approx 50 seeds.
