Plants are medium tall and starts flowering from 35 to 50 days and pods are ready for harvest in 75 days. Flower dropping will occur during summer seasons and rainy seasons or when exposed to very high temperatures. Don’t pour water on plants when the plant is in flowering stage it will cause flowers to drop. Each packet contains 20+seeds.
