Short perennial or annual to a few feet in height. The leaves are larger than most of the common Capsicum peppers and are bit like those of the Manzano's. The dainty flowers are often born in little clusters and are very ornamental in appearance. Fruits are about the size of a pea, though some plants seem to produce them with larger size. Fruits ripen from green to orange-yellow and finally to red. I hope to have peppers next year.
