This was the first year I grew these that I got from the Chili pepper Institute. The only thing I have done with them so far is to dry them and make a pepper powder out of them. Nice and mild, not much heat, but a nice flavor. I hope I am talking about the same pepper, because when I did a search on google, I get 2 different peppers. One is like the one I have, red and about 2 -3 inches long, and the other seems to be a purple/brown collored one that is more heart shaped. That is not the one I grew this year.
The stems are quite fuzzy on the one I grew, and then the plant was youger, the stems were quite fragile. I had several break off this spring when the winds kicked up, but later they seemed quite strong.
Hope this is some info that might help.
