Hello,I planted the purple,and the chocolate peppers and rainbow peppers all on march 29.The purple and the chocolate peppers came up.So far the Rainbow is a no show.Maybe needs more time?
These really are the best looking peppers you can grow, they are prettier than flowers with all their colors. We dried and crushed them at the end of the season for our spice cabinet, they have a nice heat!
These are beautiful pepper plants, with a literal rainbow of color. We enjoyed their beauty all summer long, then clipped the whole plant, hung it in our garage to dry the peppers. Now they're crushed into hot pepper flakes that we enjoy on everything. We'll grow these every year! Thank you for the wonderful seeds.
