About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
An early, uncomplicated variety that ripens reliably even in a cooler gardening year, because it does not need a long spell of heat. You harvest the wax yellow pods young and mild, or you let them ripen through orange to red, at which point they gain in heat. Ideal for growing outdoors and on the balcony, and a good tip for chilli beginners.
Harvested young it is crisp and only slightly piquant, almost like a tame pointed pepper. Ripe it becomes distinctly hotter and takes on a fruity sweetness, great for pickling.
