Its compact size, reaching about 30 cm in height, makes it ideal for pots, window boxes, and small gardens. It produces an abundance of small, upright fruits , 1 to 1.5 inches long , that go through a spectacular spectrum of colors : lavender, deep purple , orange, and then bright red when ripe. With a heat level of 30,000 to 50,000 SHU , it rivals some traditional hot peppers, offering a bright, clear fire beneath its decorative appearance. Although often grown for its beauty, it remains entirely edible and adds a vibrant note to salsas, marinades, and pickles.
