Pepper - Doux Long des Landes
I bought these seeds from Vertiloom. Doux Long des Landes is a Capsicum annuum from the area of Landes, France. While US based sites seem to advertise these peppers as getting over 12-inches, the French sites I could find listed them as 15-25cm (6-10 inches). The peppers look like long twisted Cayenne peppers, but they are actually sweet with a fruity flavor. They ripen from green to red. Doux Long des Landes is traditionally paired with Espelette peppers to make piperade (a Basque dish). This variety may be prone to powdery and downy mildew. With no heat, these peppers come in at 0-1000 Scoville units. Doux Long des Landes can be used fresh, cooked, or in sweet sauces.
