I grew these for the first time last year, sent by a friend who called them ‘curly chillies’ Even tho no heat at all , they are sweet and can stay on the plant for ages, without losing flavour and texture. Now I know what they are really called! Very interesting as I live in the Vendée, Pays de Loire. Thank you ?
Great, Jayne!
