This a small Italian cherry variety where 'Ammazzo' translates as 'small bunch of flowers'. This very unusual, ornamental pepper bears clusters of 8 to 15 individual fruits which measure 1/2" high x 3/4" wide and resemble small red marbles in a green bowl. The peppers mature from dark green to red and although they are edible, the plant is best used as an ornamental. This white flowering variety is also known as 'Nosegay' or 'Joes Round'.
