Overview
A blocky hybrid bell with an unusual ripening sequence, Blue Jay goes from green through lilac and grape tones to pale orange before ending a deep orange-red. The peppers are a good size, about 4 1/2 by 4 inches, and the Stokes-bred plants are notably productive. Tobacco mosaic virus resistance is built in.
