growing outdoors in Northern California! This is the first time I've had this variety bloom, will be interesting to see how it tastes! this plant gets blasting full sun from sun up all the way to sunset! It's been a relatively cold spring and summer up here, but a few heat waves and many luke warm days keep these plants growing. Took 2 years from planting to first flower.
