Dot, the Jingle Bells Hybrid pepper should work well in containers. They
are described as "compact", which in peppers probably means 1 1/2 to 2 ft
high. I have some started (my first time trying this variety). The
germination rate was nearly 100% and the little plants are quite vigorous.
We can look forward to lots of little fruits.
