Hangjiao 3 – Solar Flare is an ornamental Capsicum annuum variety selected for its striking foliage and colourful fruit display. It is grown primarily for decorative purposes, with plants producing vivid contrasts between leaves and pods throughout the growing season.
Pods are small, upright, and slender, forming in clusters above the foliage. Fruits ripen through multiple colour stages, typically beginning pale before developing strong yellow, orange, and red tones. The visual colour progression is the defining feature of this variety.
Flavour is light and neutral with a gentle warmth. Heat is generally regarded as Mild, offering a low, approachable level of spice. No formally published Scoville Heat Unit figure is available for this variety.
Plants are compact and bushy, usually remaining under 40–50 cm in height. They are well suited to container growing, windowsills, patios, and ornamental borders, where their upright pods and colourful foliage can be displayed to full effect.
Hangjiao 3 – Solar Flare is part of a broader group of ornamental peppers developed for visual impact rather than culinary intensity. Specific breeder details are not formally documented, but the variety is associated with Chinese ornamental pepper selections.
