Ornamental Pepper Candlelight

1983 AAS Flower Winner

As an ornamental and edible hot pepper, Candlelight bears a hundred or more slender peppers per plant. Initially, the light green thickly clustered upright fruits contrast vividly with their background of dark green foliage. Late in the summer, the pepper burst into red flames of color sitting above the foliage with majestic splendor.
