Small seeds. Small and thin pods are 2.5-3" long and turn red when fully mature. Very hot and delicious. Plants do very well in pots, and produce lots of peppers. Very easy to dry. Most of the peppers turn red on the plant at the same time, but this may be different in the southern areas with long growing season.
