NuMex Twilight Seeds
NuMex Twilight were one of the first truly decorative chilli plants I grew along with Prairie Fire. They are such a collection of bright colours, a little like a set of traffic lights. Rather than the usual chilli maturing from green to red, these start as a wonderful deep purple and then ripen to yellow, deepening to orange and finally to firey red. When you have a full plant with all the different colour fruit on it, its simply like an exploding firework!
The plant will produce a very high quantity of small sized chillies which are classed as medium hot (30-50,000 scovilles) but be warned they do tend to pack a punch.
