This species is cold hardy down to temperatures as cold as 15 degrees F or lower! It is also a black seed variety with very tiny seeds. The fruits range around .5 inches in size and are red or orange at times. They can be very heavy producers well over 100 pods per plant. Flowers are white with green patches on petals.
