Mutant Multicolor x Scarlett Variegated

This ornamental‑culinary selection brings together the striking foliage of variegated lines with pods that blush through multiple colors as they ripen. Plants stay compact and highly branched, showing splashes of cream and green on leaves and stems, with pods that may shift from ivory or purple into orange and finally red. Heat is firmly in the hot annuum range, making the fruits useful for fresh heat, powders, and decorative pickles while the plants shine in containers. Expect some variation plant to plant—variegation and pod striping are traits that can segregate—so select your preferred phenotype for seed. Plants thrive in full sun with even moisture; regular picking keeps new blossoms coming. Pods roast, pickle, and dry beautifully, so a single harvest works across many recipes. For the best color and flavor, allow fruits to finish fully before clipping with clean shears. A light stake or small cage helps support late‑season flushes when branches are loaded.
