Capsicum annuum Mighty Veggie ‘Candy Cane Chocolate Cherry’
Mighty Veggie grafted peppers produce 2-3 times (or more!) fruit than ungrafted plants and are more cold tolerant and disease resistant.
‘Candy Cane Chocolate Cherry’ is a stunning mini bell pepper with both variegated foliage and fruit! The creamy white and green leaves will add interest to the veggie garden or edible containers all season long. But the fruit will knock your socks off! It begins green with white stripes ripening through shades of yellow, orange, red, purple, and chocolate. The fruit can be eaten at any stage but is sweetest the longer it ripens. It is early-maturing with a sweet flavour and crisp texture. Harvest fully ripe around 70-80 days. Mighty Veggies grafted vegetables are hand grafted onto super strong rootstock which provides greater disease resistance, greater cold tolerance (so veggies start growing faster in the spring), and great yield. Mighty Veggie grafted plants usually produce 2-3 times more fruit than ungrafted plants, a difference that is especially large for heirloom varieties which do not always offer high yields.
