The Sweet and Chili Pepper is an ornamental and culinary pepper, both decorative and flavorful, appreciated for its compact habit and the variety of colors its fruits take on as they mature. It forms a small, dense bush, typically 30 to 50 cm tall, adorned with dark green foliage that highlights its numerous small, conical fruits. These evolve from green to yellow, then to orange, and finally to bright red, offering a colorful and lively spectacle that lasts several weeks. As its name suggests, this pepper combines fruits with a sweet and mild taste with a slightly spicy note.
