Outstanding Ornamental Peppers

Cayenne Purple Ornamental Pepper
Cayenne Purple ornamental pepper is just an absolutely showy plant. This reaches 1½ to two feet in height. It bears green leaves and pendant, cayenne-type peppers that are quite hot.
The thin walled, pointed fruits are slender and rather twisted. They grow to three inches or more in length and .375 to ½ inch wide. These are ready to harvest when they’re only an inch or so long.
Initially green, these fruits then change to yellow, and then purple, finally ripening to red. These versatile peppers are great for drying and grinding as well as for pickling and eating fresh.
This is considered to be a mid season variety with the fruits starting to ripen about 62 to 80 days or so after transplant.
