This plant has a characteristic tiered habit, and its leaves, blossoms, and chilies are all a shade of purple while they are young. As they mature, the chillies take on a brilliant red colour. There is a possibility that the leaves will sometimes exhibit some variegation, giving off a greenish hue in some lighting conditions. This artistically beautiful species is suitable for planting in containers and is able to produce an abundant harvest of mild chilies. An excellent option for use on any patio.

Plant the seeds inside between the end of winter and the middle of spring in a tiny pot that has been filled with high-quality seed compost. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of vermiculite. When the seedlings are 2.5 cm tall, transplant them to individual pots, water them, and place them in a bright location to continue growing.
