Nice ornamental pepper, with small, deep purple and green leaves and light purple tiny pepper pods throughout the plant.  Plants grow to around 15" high with a nice bush shape that does not require staking or support.

Pepper pods ripen from light purple to bright red in late summer.  It grows well in smaller containers, from half a gallon to a 2-gallon size.  I've been growing for the past 3 years, with no issues with diseases or pests.

The quickest pepper I've had starts producing pepper pods.  Pods are edible, but the spice level is a bit spicier than jalapenos.
