Chinese Five-Color

Price range: $3.50 through $97.50

By far, the most colorful hot pepper in our trial garden!  Ornamental plants are loaded with conical shaped fruits which have a dazzling array of colors, starting at deep purple and changing to creamy yellow, then orange and finally red.  All colors are present on the plants at any time. Deep green foliage is tinged with purple. Great for the garden, or containers.  Fruits are quite hot and useful for any standard pepper recipes calling for hot peppers, especially salsa or pastes.  80 days from transplant.
