Fidalga Roxa – A radiant Brazilian gem with a dramatic colour transformation.
The Fidalga Roxa, a dazzling Capsicum Chinense variety from Brazil, is prized for its striking beauty, vibrant pod colouration, and prolific yield. This bushy plant, growing 80–100 cm in pots and larger in the ground, features dark stems and occasionally purple-tinged leaves, giving it an ornamental charm. Its white and purple flowers give way to small, blunt lantern-shaped pods measuring about 2–3 cm long and 2 cm wide. The pods begin a rich dark purple, gradually maturing into peach to orange hues, creating a captivating visual journey through the season. With its abundant production, unique colour shifts, and compact structure, the Fidalga Roxa is an excellent choice for growers looking to combine aesthetic appeal with flavourful heat. Ideal for pots, balconies, or garden borders, it’s a true conversation piece in any chilli collection.
