🌶️ Chinese Five Colors – an exceptionally colourful and fiery hot pepper variety
Chinese Five Colors is a striking chili pepper known for its spectacular colour transformation. During ripening, the pods change through five distinct colours — purple, white, yellow, orange and red — making this one of the most decorative hot peppers available.
The pods are small, slender and very hot, ideal for anyone who enjoys bold heat in the kitchen. The intense flavour makes them perfect for hot sauces, salsas, chili oils, drying, seasoning blends and chili powder.
The plants are mid-season, upright, well-branched and highly productive, producing colourful fruits continuously throughout the growing season. This makes it an excellent choice both as an ornamental plant and a culinary chili.
