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.
Common Names: Trifetti Hot Pepper
Botanical name: Capsicum Annuum
Color: Green, turning first to dark purple and then red at final maturity
I do not have an indoor garden so I am waiting until spring to plant. I will try planting closer to Feb or March in small pods watering with spray bottle, and slowly introduce the plants to outdoor conditions.
