    I was about to write more but accidentally posted it before finishing, whoops 😅

    A very sweet old lady I know saw my purple tiger pepper the other day and she was amazed, I promised to give her seeds when I get my first harvest and now I am thinking of gifting her more variety. I was just wondering what some of your favourite peppers are in terms of looks, talking more about the plant rather than the fruit but the latter would count too!

    Edit: Also nothing above 1 million scovilles please, she loves heat as she grows her own hot peppers but I do not want to shower the poor woman in capsaicin!

    Tricolor Variegata has been my go-to ornamental showstopper for the last few years. Any of the mutant peppers with the thin, strap-like leaves also make great ornamentals in mixed planters.

    I love the fancy hat that NuMex April Fool’s is sporting right now. He grows indoors under lights but he really puts his heart into his fashion. I’m growing it for the peppers but I haven’t tasted them yet. But the plant sure is cute!

    I absolutely loved the chinese 5 colors. They also make for some super tasty powder when dried!
