Details
Hybrid created by Enrico Lai. Very beautiful color progression of the pepper pods. Peppers start off in purple/black hues and ripen to red with black. Plants have very beautiful dark purple and green foliage. Fruits are 2-3" in length and are very bumpy. They have a great pepper flavor but a wicked bite of heat. One plant can produce dozens or more peppers and plants get to around 4' tall. Very rare. Non-Isolated.
