Lilac Cayenne Chilli The Lilac Cayenne, a striking Capsicum annuum variety, is known for its purple-tinged foliage and abundant pod production. The slender pods mature through a beautiful colour shift—from green to deep purple and finally fiery red. Valued for both its ornamental appeal and culinary versatility, this chilli is perfect for making cayenne powder or adding a fresh, zesty kick to your favourite dishes.
