Plant of the Day
Tuesday 21 November 2017

Grown as a half hardy annual Capsicum annuum ‘NuMex Twilight’ (chilli pepper) is surviving the late autumn protected from frosts in the glasshouse of the World Garden at the Royal Horticultural Society’s garden at Hyde Hall, Essex, UK. This cultivar was developed at New Mexico State University and is covered with peppers that start out white, turn purple, then move through yellow and orange, becoming red when fully ripe. The fruits produce a colourful rainbow effect on the green plant.
