Pods curl and twist as they ripen to a pastel peach and salmon, carrying 15,000 to 30,000 SHU of medium heat. Chris Fowler selected this one in Wales from straight C. baccatum stock, and the plant runs tall at 36 to 42 inches.This plant is still growing and is not ready to ship yet.What you are getting: a seedling, minimum 8 weeks old and at least 6 inches tall. It is not a finished plant. It will need transplanting into a container, so choose the container accordingly: these will grow in anything from a half gallon up, but the pot determines the yield in many cases, and some varieties do better than others in a small one.If it is going outside: harden it off first. Give it a few hours a day somewhere sheltered and out of direct sun, and build that up over a week or so before it lives outdoors full time. A seedling put straight out is a seedling you can lose.Feeding: do not fertilise for the first two weeks. After that, use a balanced fertiliser.More on this variety, and on growing peppers generally, at wikipepper.org.
