Fantastic Grower
These peppers grew extremely well in mid-Michigan! I had 3 plants in a 3 gallon pot, definitely less than ideal growing conditions, but they didn't care at all. I had to tie them up to keep them from falling over! They were very prolific and had great flavor. Pictured before they were ripe to show the size of the plants. They were bright orange when ripe!

Great germination
While it's too early to tell how much these seeds will produce, I did have 21 seeds that germinated and the plants are looking healthy. I'll probably transplant them into larger pots this weekend and give them a chance to grow big and strong before planting them in my garden. Looking forward to a new pepper we haven't tried before.
