Great pepper plant

This is the second year I have purchased this pepper plant.it arrived happy and healthy and already has lots of peppers growing.great plant!

From LYNDA | June 24, 2022


Modest little peppers

These peppers are sweet, but they still have a little kick to them. I can't wait long enough for them to turn orange, when they have a more complex flavor. Lol. I usually eat them when they are yellow. The pepper plants that I received were all very healthy and happy in their containers. The root system was well established, but not pot bound.

Grows quickly!

I ordered this a few weeks ago and potted it right away. I'm very impressed with the way it was packaged. It's my first time planting vegetables. I'm so excited to see a pepper growing already! It grows so quickly each day and looks like more peppers are starting to grow! I just ordered a bunch more other types of vegetables so hopefully they will grow as fast as these peppers! Thank you GrowJoy! I'm going to recommend you to my family & friends and I'll be a returning customer!
