Violet Sparkle is an ornamental Capsicum annuum variety grown primarily for its decorative value. It is characterised by vivid foliage and colourful fruit that provide visual interest throughout the growing season, making it suitable for containers and ornamental displays.
Pods are small, upright, and conical, forming in clusters above the foliage. Fruits typically ripen through multiple colour stages, including purple and red, creating a contrasting sparkle effect against the plant’s leaves. Pod walls are thin and suited to light culinary use if required.
Flavour is neutral with a gentle warmth. Heat is regarded as Mild, offering light pungency without intensity. No formally published Scoville Heat Unit figure is available for this variety.
Plants are compact and bushy, generally remaining under 40–50 cm in height. Violet Sparkle performs well in pots, window boxes, and patio containers, where its upright fruit and colour transitions can be easily displayed.
The background and breeder of Violet Sparkle are not formally documented. The variety is best recognised as an ornamental chilli selected for appearance rather than culinary heat or regional heritage.
Germination temperature 28–30 °C. See our Water and Feed Guides for advise.
