I'm an experienced gardener and I love peppers. I've been growing them for a long time and have tried many different varieties. I first tried Klyaksa two years ago. I really liked it for its ease of care. And my family loves it for its unusual color. Salads with it look very elegant.

I grow seedlings for sale. This variety is an acquired taste. Germination is good, and the seedlings are strong. Some people are put off by the color of the future fruits, but those familiar with the variety readily buy them. It's a favorite among gardeners who don't have the time to meticulously care for their plants.
