Maui Purple Multicolor

Maui Purple Multicolor is an ornamental‑culinary standout with purple‑tinged foliage and pods that shift from deep violet to red. Even a single plant reads like a living bouquet, changing week to week as clusters color through the spectrum. Heat is hot but clean, and the thin‑walled pods dry into vivid flakes for eye‑catching spice blends. Compact plants excel in containers or as a colorful edging along paths and raised beds. Full sun intensifies the purple anthocyanins in both leaves and fruit, turning up the garden drama. Steady moisture supports continuous flowering so you can pick fresh color all season long. Use a mix of purple‑stage and red pods in salsas for layered flavor and a confetti effect. Growers who want beauty and bite in one plant will love this versatile Hawaiian selection.
