I've been growing Peppers for the last couple of years and have had problems only with this one variety. Are they an especially slow-growing plant? Or do they have any particular needs that anyone knows about?

Also, the ones that managed to fruit last year produced small, bitter peppers that weren't all that good to eat.

Any advice would be welcome!

Hi I grew a couple of these last year. The fruit was small but tasted okay. Put this down to the bad weather. However, this year, I sowed them again from the same packet and so far only one has germinated. I'll be interested to see what others have to say.

I grew them for two years in a row and got weedy little fruits that were uninspiring or bitter. I've given up on them ... maybe we both got seeds from the same poor batch?
