Overview
Bolivian Rainbow is a hot chile from Bolivia grown as much for show as for heat. Plants of 2 to 3 feet have purple foliage and flowers and carry tiny, pointed, upward-facing fruit about 20 mm long that pass from purple through yellow and orange to red, so several colors appear at once. Fruit are very hot with a sweet, spicy flavor. It is early for a chile and makes a fine container plant; in mild zones it may overwinter as a shrub. ASHS lists maturity at about 70 days.
