Deep red and mildly hot peppers produce profusely on stocky bushes. Approximately 10cm by 3cm each. Plants grow to about 60-90cm (2-3 feet) tall. We dry ours and grind for a slightly piquant paprika that goes into almost every savoury dish.
Highly prized in France. It is a cornerstone of Basque cuisine and is used instead of black pepper. An annual pepper festival organized by Confrérie du Piment d'Espelette, held the last weekend in October since 1968, attracts some 20,000 tourists. 
 
To maintain flowering and fruiting feed your plant with a complete soluble fertilizer like Evolves Organic Tomato Food and EVOLVES Calcium Plus.
