Description:
The Filius Blue pepper is a deceptively purple pepper with beautiful plant qualities and a unique flavor for an ornamental plant. Winning the RHS Award of Garden Merit, this reliable variety livens up your garden while providing very tasty fruits for different culinary uses.
Grow Filius Blue pepper plants that reach 2 ft. tall and produce high yields of deep blue/purple small fruits. These plants are beautiful and easy to grow, making them a great ornamental hedge variety. They also make for a great houseplant for container gardening and will be the talk of the show for their exotic looks. Filius Blue peppers will form into small lightbulb shapes and ripen from green to blue-purple, and then to a bright red color at maturity. They will surprisingly lose their heat as they ripen to red, so make sure to harvest this pepper during their blue-purple stage.
Can you eat this ornamental pepper, even though some ornamentals are bitter? Yes! The Filius Blue chili is very tasty with sweetness and a touch of heat. Grow this pepper and add some sizzle to your garden!
