Cindy, I've got a question about a kind of pepper I've seen grown here
in a park. About two feet tall, very dark green leaves, purple stems,
and small 3/4" or 1" long purple peppers that have just started turning
bright red. Bugs appear to left them untouched. Because of the handsome
foliage, I took some tip cuttings that have rooted easily. Any idea what
they might be? Any ideas about how to over-winter them? Richmond, VA in
zone 7 isn't frost free, but I have two sets of 4 foot long pairs of
flourescent lights. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
