60-68 days to chartreuse fruit 75-85 days to red harvest Capsicum annuum

Dazzling, indeed! For years folx have rhapsodized about Violet Sparkle pepper and, when we finally grew them, we only wished we had grown them sooner! Thriving in short, cool seasons, Violet Sparkle is a compact plant cascading four-inch chartreuse fruits that blush burgundy lavender & ripen to red, sweet as can be. The kaleidoscope doesn’t stop from midsummer to frost with thick, succulent flesh fabulous in salads, sauteed, on the grill and pickled as well as stuffed. We snack on them straight in the garden all the time, too!
