75-85 days, Open-pollinated, Mild to Medium Heat
Fruits start out green, then turn dark purple a long time before turning red at maturity, making this a beautiful ornamental plant that often shows green, purple and red fruits at the same time. Plus, the blossoms are lavender. The fruits are 3-5” long, with low to medium heat (2,500 to 8,000 Scoville units), and a little more sweetness than the average jalapeño. Plants are highly productive. Use fresh in salsa and salads, for stuffing or pickling.
