About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
A compact ornamental chilli that is genuinely hot and fully usable at the same time, which makes it ideal for the balcony and the windowsill. The small, upright fruits ripen from violet through yellow and orange to red, so all the colours glow on the plant at once. Robust, heavy cropping and happy even in a small pot.
Despite their dainty size the pods carry plenty of fire and a spicy aroma. Use them fresh, dried or as colourful decoration over the finished dish.
