Are rainbow peppers real?

Are rainbow peppers real?

Yes, rainbow peppers are real! Check out the Bolivian Rainbow Pepper for a gorgeous colorful pepper plant that is sure to please. They look great in pots, or in flower gardens... and they're edible too! They are spicy and good for adding to salsas or hot sauces, or to dry and turn into hot pepper flakes!

The 24" tall plants have purple tinged foliage and purple flowers. Fruits are small at 3/4" and turn from purple to yellow and then to red when mature. All colors are on the plant at once making it very showy. 

So grow a rainbow in your garden with the Bolivian Rainbow pepper! If you love colorful rainbow peppers, also be sure to check out our other Ornamental pepper seeds including the beautiful pastel-rainbow of the Easter Pepper!
