Description

BOLIVIAN RAINBOW PEPPER (Capsicum annum) is a beautiful ornamental pepper that one can grow indoors under proper conditions and even train as a bonsai tree. The peppers have white blossoms that produce small conical fruits pointed upwards. The fruits start out lavender and change colors as they mature, but not uniformly so that you wind up with a rainbow on the same plant. Plants grow to about 18" with rounded form. If you put several together in one bonsai dish and train as a braid, you can achieve that gorgeous "tree" effect. Note: Pepper plants need to be germinated on heat mats. They simply won't germinate otherwise. To produce peppers, you will need to hand pollinate indoors - simply done with a fine watercolor-style paint brush. Make like a virtual bee on a daily basis and your little "tree" will fill with peppers. 10 Seeds.
