This thread begs the question of what is ornamental. I think all chile plants are beautiful which is why I grow them.

It doesn't really matter, any nice colourful looking plants.

I didn't note anything special about the flavor--this is c. annuum not a chinense. Heat varied from moderate to very hot.

not only that john but also they have bad flavor that cant be used in any way of cooking...

they are just to look at

thx for your infos. So it was the right decision, not to plant it this year. Got the Peru scarlet lantern, Masquerade und Pimenta da Neyde, that's enough for this year.

They are all beautiful plants. Now I might have to throw a couple in this year as well. I grew the Black Pearl last year. It was a pretty plant, but didn't use any of the pods. I might put a few out as border plants though.

I have to disagree. Mine had ordinary annuum flavor-not a bad flavor.

Pimenta de Neyde makes an excellent powder. It's tan color. My friend in Italy sent me a nice batch. I love it.
