Golden Greek Pepperonchini

Tania · August 31, 2014

I have 17 Golden Greek Pepperonchini plants growing in cold frame, seeds from a reputable commercial seed vendor purchased in 2011.

Most of the plants are ripening fruits, and they are bright red, large elongated peppers, and they are sweet.

One plant is producing smaller cylindrical fruits, ripening to orange. I have not tasted them yet to determine the heat level.

I am assuming the orange one is correct, and the rest are wrong. But I am not sure. Google search brings pictures with red fruit, and descriptions that says it ripens from green to yellow and then to red (mine go from green to red, no yellow phase), and they say it is mildly hot. Perhaps I am not detecting mild heat, LOL. They appear to be sweet to me! Mine also look larger than what I thought they should be, but it is hard to size up peppers based on the pics on the web.

If you have grown this variety, what is the fruit color?

Here are the pic of the red ones from our garden -
