unless I'm mistaken gypsy peppers are not hot peppers. I was told that they're firmly in the "sweet" category. never tried one myself, but did see them at lowe's once.

Sweet and red when ripe.

I have grown them before. They are yellow at first. I did not give them a chance to ripen. But anyway, they are sweet peppers and are similar to sweet banana.

Gypsy peppers are one of the sweet varieties I grow each year. They have always been very productive; they average 4 inches long and about 2 inches wide at top and are tapered. They go from yellow to orange to red when fully ripe. Myself, I like to use them at the orangish stage..

I have two or three plants this year and let them sit on the plant a while if you want them to be a little sweeter. They are most definitely better the longer you let them stay on the plant.
