Originating from Thailand, the Purple Thai is a striking Capsicum frutescens variety celebrated for both its ornamental beauty and culinary value. This compact, bushy plant features dark green foliage with rich purple undertones, enhanced by vivid purple flowers and slender, upright pods that gradually ripen from deep purple to bright red. Its bold colour palette and productive nature make it a standout in any garden, while its moderately hot pods add a zesty kick to a wide range of dishes.
