Chinese five color is flowering

9 years ago

I just wanted to share this photo of my Chinese five color pepper plant that just started flowering. This one is in a pot but I have two more in the ground. The one in the pot is growing better than the ones in the ground though but they too are flowering. I personally think this is one of the best looking pepper plants I have grown :)

the leaves look a bit narrow to me but overall in good health.

That C-Five-C looks beautiful, Aili.
Looks a lot like my Manzano. The foliage, color of flowers, except Manzano is hairy.

I do have couple of C-Fives-C but they are nowhere near yours. They are much shorter and are not yet fully purplish.

Thanks seysonn. Ceth, I think that is a characteristic of this plant, but I'm not sure.
