NuMex Piñata

Description

The NuMex Piñata is a colorful ornamental chili developed at New Mexico State University producing prolific clusters of small elongated pods that ripen simultaneously through yellow orange and red creating a festive multi-colored display evocative of a piñata's vivid colors. With moderate heat around 30,000-50,000 SHU the edible pods offer a fruity punchy heat suitable for salsas and garnishes in addition to their decorative appeal. Its compact habit and vibrant year-round fruiting make it a favorite for container gardens and ornamental plantings where edibility and beauty combine.
