((Blue Christmas x Candlelight Mutant) x Purple Flash) x (Thunder Mountain Longhorn x Ninfadora) F4 Pheno 2

Stacking four ornamental powerhouses with a longhorn lineage, this F4 pheno pairs glossy purple‑black foliage and calyx color with elegant, chef‑friendly pods. Immature fruit can show deep anthocyanin blush from Blue Christmas, Candlelight Mutant, Purple Flash, and Ninfadora ancestry, then finish vivid red for kitchen use. Thunder Mountain Longhorn in the background pulls some phenotypes longer and more tapered, so you get a mix of cluster sets and graceful pendant forms. Heat is in the approachable annuum range—lively but usable—so peppers roast, pickle, and slice cleanly without overpowering a dish. Full sun intensifies the near‑black canopy, especially on new growth and immature pods, while regular picking keeps blossoms coming. Plants stay compact‑upright in containers, with tidy branching that reads ornamental at a glance. By F4, traits are tightening, but you can still select for depth of foliage color, calyx blush, and pod length. If you want a container‑friendly showpiece that also earns its keep in the kitchen, this pheno hits the mark.
