Chilli Purple Pumpkin (Capsicum annuum) is a unique variety of pepper that stands out for its attractive appearance and versatile use in the kitchen.
Appearance and size: The plant grows to a medium height and has a compact, bushy habit, making it ideal for growing in containers. The fruits are small, resembling inverted pumpkins, grow upright and undergo fascinating colour changes as they ripen, from deep purple to lavender, peach, orange and deep red. This colour change gives the plant an extraordinary ornamental value.
Heat level and flavour: The fruit has a crunchy texture with a mild sweetness and a medium tanginess, which is lower than that of jalapeño. This combination makes Purple Pumpkin suitable for a wide range of culinary applications.
Growing: Purple Pumpkin is easy to grow and thrives in smaller containers. However, when grown in larger pots, the plant will reward the grower with a bountiful crop of fruit. The plant prefers a sunny location and well-drained soil. Seed germination time is usually 7-14 days, with a harvest time of around 90-100 days from transplanting.
Use in the kitchen: They can also be pickled to preserve their vibrant colours or used as edible decorations or garnishes for dishes.
For germination, maintain a temperature of 24-28 °C - germinates in 7-14 days
