Pepper, Sweet Tangerine Dream

Yes, it's a gorgeous little bush studded all over with shiny red-orange rockets - too pretty to hide away among rows of vegetables. But it's very tasty too, with a hint of heat. The 3" fruit are sweet and delicious, either pickled or on salad platters. Height 18". Harvest about 70 days after plants are set out in the garden. Grows best in full sun.
