Sangria Pepper
Plant Sangria peppers and you're setting the stage for a party. This pretty ornamental plant bears fruit that resembles confetti. Young peppers emerge green, then march through a wonderful parade of colors—orange, purple, and finally on to a glorious red.
Sangria peppers are edible, but they're not typically grown for their flavor. The fruits are eye-catching, but lack intense heat.
This pepper looks great planted as an edging in a bed and also adapts well to growing in containers. Plants bear fruit until frost.
