A hardy and delicious heirloom capsicum originally from Italy, it looks chilli hot but instead is the sweetest capsicum we have tasted. The fruit can be picked green or ripened to a rich red. The fruit is long and thin-skinned and has a rich flavour. The bushes are prolific and it grows well in most areas. Worth trying in cooler areas where common bell capsicums fail.
