Overview
Candy Cane is a striped sweet pepper that is as decorative as it is edible. The thin-walled fruit are small bells about 1 1/2 by 4 inches, striped in green, cream and shades of red before ripening to solid red, on plants that also carry variegated foliage in some strains. It is early, at about 60 to 65 days. Pick striped for the visual effect in salads or fully red for the sweetest flavor; the thin walls suit raw eating and quick sautés.
