Chinese 5 Color #49

Chinese Five Color – a stunning ornamental and edible pepper that puts on a colorful show before delivering a satisfying burst of heat. This compact variety produces upright, cone-shaped pods that ripen through a brilliant rainbow of colors—starting purple, then transitioning to cream, yellow, orange, and finally red. With a moderate burn of around 5,000 to 30,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), the Chinese Five Color delivers a quick, peppery heat that pairs well with fresh salsas, vinegar infusions, hot sauces, and dried pepper blends. Not only is it flavorful, but it’s also a garden standout—perfect for containers, borders, or edible landscaping. Plants are bushy, highly productive, and striking even before the first pod ripens.
