I grew this pepper for the first time this year and was very pleased with the vigor, flavor and number of peppers it produced. It has earned a place in my future gardens.
It does get rather large and needs staking or the peppers pull the plant over.

Peppers are chocolate-brown when ripe, and are of the pasilla type. They are traditionally used to make the Mexican molé sauce, but are also good for stuffing and grilling. Peppers can be eaten green, but develop fuller flavor and become hotter as they ripen. Peppers should be mature between 75-85 days after sowing.

Disease resistance to Potato virus Y and Tobacco Mosaic Virus Strains 0, 1 and 2
