This pepper plant is very ornamental with its slender peppers that stand straight up in the air. All three colors of yellow, orange and red are on the plant at the same time resembling flames of a fire. Their cheery colors are wonderful for a patio, landscape, or garden.
Very ornamental peppers ripen from yellow, to orange, then to red. The long pointy 3-4” peppers grow upright in bright clusters on a small 10” plant. Great in containers. The peppers are edible if desired.
Capsicumannuum (85 days)
Heat Level: Medium Scoville: 5,000
~ Packet contains 10 seeds.
In early spring, start seeds indoors 8 weeks prior to warm nightly temperatures. Place the seeds in sterile media and cover 1/4” deep. Provide 85°F bottom heat, bright light, and keep moist at all times. Seeds will germinate in 7-21 days. Transplant seedlings into pots and grow until there are 6 true leaves on the plant. Plant them directly into rich soil, 18” apart or into 1-gallon containers or decorative pots.
These cool peppers really did look like flames of a fire in our patio pot! First they were yellow then they started turning orange and red towards the end of the season. Very cool show. At the end of summer, I picked and dried them and use them as hot pepper flakes, they aren't super spicy but have a little kick. Very ornamental and a great conversation piece. I'll be growing these again!

All the seeds sprouted!
Some took their sweet ol' time but they nearly all sprouted! I transplanted some of them so I'll have some extra plants to share. COOL! Thanks for the killer seeds, as always. I've been a long time customer of Sandia Seed, and have never been disappointed.

Love new ornamental peppers!
Very excited to grow these new seeds – I like growing your ornamental peppers in pots on our patio. They look good all summer long, then I use them to make into fermented hot sauce at the end of the season. These look beautiful, can't wait to see them later this summer, loaded with pretty peppers!
