Each plant produces slim, elongated fruits approximately 12–18 cm in length, which gradually turn from green to bright red as they mature. The peppers are medium to high in heat, adding a fiery kick to curries, sauces, pickles, and spice blends. Their vivid red color also makes them visually striking, adding beauty to your garden.
