The F1 hybrid sets small to medium, 3- to 4-lobed blocky fruit that reach the green stage around 50 days and ripen red near 70. It has good cold tolerance and resists blossom drop, so it keeps setting fruit when conditions are not ideal, which makes it a favorite in northern and short-season gardens. Plants are compact and sturdy. Pick some green to keep the plant producing and let the rest color up for sweeter red peppers.
