Description
Species Annuum Origin Unknown Heat Mild This ornamental pepper seems to explode in a riot of color, bringing bright orange and red to landscapes or containers. As a bonus, Chilly Chili is safe to use around children because the peppers are not pungent. Two to 2-1/2 inch long fruit are borne above the foliage and start out greenish-yellow, then turn to orange, and finally to dark red. Plants grow about 1 foot tall and spread up to 14 inches wide. Extremely heat tolerant, Chilly Chili provides garden color even during the hottest summers.
