Narrative
Plants and fruits are deep red, giving color to vegetable plantings and enhancing urban gardens. Dwarf habit, plant height is 5 feet, early maturity, leaves moderately lobed, and high yields. Angular straight pods which are slow to form lignin. Pod size 1.2" diameter x 4" length at desired edible stage. Cooked pod color reverts to the usual green color. Good yields obtained until frost when harvested three times per week. Moderate nematode resistance similar to that of popular cultivars.
