Details
The Pyramid Chili is a very pretty variety from Italy. The small, almost pyramid-shaped chilies grow upright in clusters and are a real eye-catcher on the balcony or terrace, as they ripen from green to orange and purple to a bright red. Since fruits are always on the plant at different stages of ripeness, the plants are very pretty to look at throughout the summer. The pods grow in clusters and can be dried well by cutting off the entire stalk and hanging it in the kitchen. Spectacular container plant for the patio. Non-Isolated.
