The Candy Cane Chocolate Cherry (Capsicum annuum) is a stunning variety, winner of the Green Thumb Award. It is the ideal pepper for those who want a highly ornamental plant with colorful, sweet fruits and zero heat.
Classified as Sweet, its Scoville level (SHU) is 0 to 1,000 SHU. Heat is virtually imperceptible, making it a snack pepper. The flavor is crisp and sweet, deepening as it ripens into its "chocolate and cherry" tones, similar to a premium mini bell pepper.
The plant features spectacular variegated (tie-dye) foliage of green and creamy white. The fruits start with green and white stripes, maturing into a unique combination of chocolate and cherry red stripes. Perfect for fresh snacking, salads, or stuffing with cream cheese. It adds a sophisticated touch to appetizer platters.
