Also called "Trifetti", this show stopping mini ornamental variety is perfect for container growing.
Variegata is a striking ornamental variety of Capsicum annuum, grown for its beautifully mottled foliage as much as its fruit. The leaves display shades of green, cream, and purple, while the small upright pods shift in colour from cream or purple to orange and finally bright red. Though visually appealing, the fruits are surprisingly hot and can be used in cooking if desired. This variety likely originated from ornamental breeding lines in the USA or Europe and is especially popular in patio containers and border plantings.
