Bolivian Rainbow
A living jewel in the garden—Bolivian Rainbow pepper dazzles with a cascade of slender, upright fruits that shift from creamy yellow to warm orange, then to ember-red and finally to deep purple-black as they ripen. The peppers are crisp and bright, with a vivid, peppery snap that makes them especially striking for fresh display and vivid color in arrangements and bold sauces. Grow it for nonstop ornamental payoff: compact, tidy plants hold their color show through the season, turning every patio pot or bed into a miniature rainbow.
