Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Want 100s of chili peppers from a single 12” x 30” plant? Absolutely awesome in a container (10+ gal.) and wonderfully ornamental with its carnival of color, it’s fun to watch the profusion of 1” upright peppers change from purple to yellow to red. Easily 100 at a time and 300 in a season, these medium-hot chilies are great for all your flammable needs and can even be grown indoors! Good compost-enhanced soil for total perfection. Excellent disease resistance. Organically grown.
