Screaming-hot little peppers turn a rainbow of vibrant colors, from purple, cream, yellow, orange to red as they ripen. Need I say ornamental? The plants are great for containers inside. Just pick a few any time to liven up your salsa.
Reviews:
I'm the most amateur of gardeners and these grew beautifully in a container on my balcony. Plant was undeterred by the extreme Kentucky heat last summer.
Yesterday I was separating seed from dried 2018 peppers. I had no idea the seeds were still incredibly hot and well, needless to say, I found out in a not so good way. But, I survived and got the seed put away. Despite numerous washings, my hands were still not the next day! You like hot? This is your pepper!
I grew five kinds of peppers this year and of all of them, these were certainly the prettiest. They do indeed have five colors and they are very easy to grow. They're about an inch long and kind of fat. They are pretty spicy but don't have much in the way of an underlying flavor. So they're great to add heat but not really to flavor. I used them to infuse vodka and pickled some of them. Not my personal favorite but I would absolutely grow them again as decoration. If you're looking for something pretty and also somewhat usable, this will suit your tastes.
To me they taste like sweet peppers if sweet peppers were also really hot.
Will definitely grow these again. It’s like having little Christmas trees in your garden!
