The Violet Cables is a stunning Capsicum annuum variety from the USA, renowned for its ornamental beauty. This pepper offers an impressive visual contrast in any garden or pot, featuring dark foliage and fruits that undergo a spectacular color transformation during ripening.
Classified as Hot with a Medium heat level, it ranges from 15,000 to 30,000 SHU on the Scoville Scale (similar to Cayenne or Tabasco). Its flavor is clean and pleasant; when young (purple), it is mild like a bell pepper, developing its full robust heat and a sweet-spicy character as it turns red.
The plant is compact with dark green to purple/black foliage. The small, elongated fruits start deep violet, transition through shades of purple and black, and ripen to bright red. While popular as a "good luck charm," it is fully edible and excellent for dehydrating into spicy powders or adding vibrant color to vinegar-based sauces and preserves.
Violet Cables - SHU 30,000. Pack of 10 selected seeds, with identification label for species, origin, and heat level.
