I grew lipstick peppers from seed. the plants produced abundently. I thought the flavor was mild and stronger than a green pepper/ I didnt find they turned red very readily. They seemed to get rotten before.

My husband and I have a difficult time growing red peppers where we live in Northeast Ohio, due to a shorter growing season. The three plants we bought this year produced wonderfully sweet red peppers into mid-October. Each plant provided an abundance. Just try to wait until they turn red to pick. My husband picked some early, though, and they were still delicious.
