Candy Cane Pepper (F1 Hybrid 60-65 Days)

Distinctive variegated foliage sets this plant apart from all of the others. The boldly striped, snack-sized peppers are one of the sweetest we have ever trialed. Uncommon fruits start off with bands of light and dark green, later developing the red giving it the ‘candy cane’ appearance, edible at any stage. Exceptionally crisp, elongated fruits grow to 3-5 inches. Unbelievably yummy right off the plant. Try keeping them in a container just outside your door! 20 seeds   PLANTING Capsicum annuum Germination: 10-14 days Germination Temperature: Optimum soil temperatures 75-85ºF.
