| Notes | The first thing you should know about the Bird’s Eye Chili Pepper is that it’s VERY HOT. That’s also the third and fifth things you should know. Small 1"-2", tapered fruit grows on a compact bush and ripens through all the showy colors of a painted bunting, green to purple to orange to red.
