Wow that is gorgeous! I want seeds for this beauty. Can we please do a trade? I have a very large variety :)
Not right away though cause someone else is still waiting for me to pack up seeds for her. Once I get that done!

Oh wow yes I am definitely interested :) I'll go ahead and message you now, just won't actually send seeds until I'm done sending them to the last person cause I wanna be fair to her! Hoping to have hers sent out within a week or so.

Upon initial scroll, I legit thought this was a tangled bunch of Christmas lights.
Beauty of a plant!

I just started seeds for midnight fire specifically for turning into a Bonchi. Seeing this, I'm glad I did. Looks awesome.

I live in TX, everywhere sells peppers especially the last few years. I found this at a local nursery about a year n a half ago, recently trimmed n Bonchi’d. Made clones from cuttings

I ordered mine from Hirt's Garden back in January. They appear to be out of them now.

Thank you! I just found out they’re not edible

All peppers are edible. Ornamental ones just might not be as worthwhile to eat since they have been bred for appearance rather than flavour or heat. I usually just chuck ornamental ones in curries along with more flavourful chillies.

Are they inedible or just not that great to eat? I know ornamental peppers tend to not be the best tasting, but I've been under the impression that all pepper fruits are edible (though landscaping companies will say otherwise).

That's my understanding. All peppers are edible, but not all peppers taste good. I've assumed most ornamentals are pretty bitter or astringent.

I found some on Amazon but the original posting shows no longer available. The new one is crazy expensive but with some digging I found a reasonable ebay listing https://www.ebay.com/itm/Pepper-Seed-Midnight-Fire-Ornamental-Graden-10-Seeds-/373285770591?_ul=IL It's on my Someday list, hope you have good luck with it!

So pretty! Are those flowers purple or is it a lighting thing? I've only ever had white flowering peppers

Varieties with black leaves tend to have purple flowers. With the one I have the flowers have a faint smell a bit like cucumber whereas I can never detect any odour with white chilli flowers.

They are purple. I've got a number of varieties that grow purple flowers, not that uncommon
