Purple Marupi

Purple Marupi is a dark‑foliaged take on the Brazilian Murupi/Murupi Amarela group, producing small, hot pods that pass through olive and purple tones before finishing in warm golds and yellows. Plants are striking in full sun and highly productive, setting long trusses of pendant fruits with a fruity chinense bouquet. Heat lands around habanero levels; use sparingly for aromatic sauces, salsas, and powders. The multicolor ripening makes for beautiful harvest bowls and eye‑catching container displays. Thin walls dry rapidly into fragrant, colorful flakes for winter use. Provide consistent warmth, feeding, and a light stake to support heavy sets. Harvest across the color range for layered flavors from bright to sweet. A collector favorite that balances beauty, production, and serious heat.
