What is this?

16 years ago

I had got a couple of pepper plants - I think they were Bonnie plants. One was labeled Green bell pepper and the other was fajita bell pepper. The green bell pepper turned out to be the regular green bell pepper, but the other one produces small red peppers which are very hot - what are these called?

This is what they look like -

Looks to me like the "Cherry Bomb" or "Cherry Tart" pepper...I have 4 of these plants, they are one of my most productive (and tasty) pepper plants. The mature peppers are from 3/4" to 1 1/2" in diameter and turn from green to a light red ranging to almost burgundy red at maturity

Not sure of the proper name, possibly Capsicum annuum. I bought mine as 8" plants at a local nursery. Wait till they mature, pick and pickle the peppers, stuff with cream cheese, and enjoy!

I'll be planting a few more next season, as the stuffed peppers have become very popular with friends and family. I can't grow enough with 4 plants to keep up!
