A colorful banana pepper that is vigorous and sets loads of fruit. This variety produces attractive, tasty peppers that are great fresh as well as for frying, pickling or cutting into rings for salads, sandwiches and pizza toppings. Compact, upright plants do not require staking - perfect for container and small space gardening. High-yielding plants produce early, often and continues late into the season. Originally a hybrid, these seeds were saved from the F1 hybrid grow-out and are considered an unstable F2 variety. Non-Isolated.
