Filius Blue Pepper Seeds
Get ready to grow a living jewel in your garden! The Filius Blue is one of the most stunning ornamental peppers you will ever see. This compact, bushy plant starts with deep green foliage and a hint of purple, but the real show is the peppers themselves. They emerge as a mesmerizing deep violet-blue and undergo a spectacular transformation, ripening through shades of yellow and orange before finishing at a brilliant, fiery red. At peak season, a single plant can look like a galaxy of colorful stars.
But the Filius Blue has a fascinating secret: its heat changes with its color! The beautiful purple peppers pack a surprising cayenne-level kick. As they ripen to red, they perform a magic trick, losing nearly all their heat to become delightfully sweet. This "split personality" makes the Filius Blue not just a feast for the eyes, but a versatile and fun addition to the kitchen.
