This is a gorgeous little plant! Compact, bushy plants produces loads of 1 1/2 to 2 inch long peppers that are held upright like chili peppers (but these are sweet and very tasty). The peppers ripen to red, but the plant will often have yellow, purple, orange, and red peppers all at the same time.
Very ornamental as well as delicious. As the name suggests, they do make great pickled peppers, but they are also good eats when fresh. They can even be eaten whole, as the seeds are not bitter.
I grew these in a large window box, with potting mix about 7-8" deep, and they did all right, but the ones in my garden bed were much larger and more productive. They are compact enough (12-15" tall & wide in the garden, 8-10" in the window box) to be wonderful container plants, although they would probably do better in a 10 inch pot than they did in my window box. Beautiful planted with 'Lemon Gem' signet marigolds!
