This prolific ornamental variety produces 2 to 2.5 inches long by 0.5 to 0.625 inch wide pendant shaped peppers which grow upright on the plant. The pods mature from a pale yellow to purple then to yellow and orange before finally ripening to red. A lovely variety which will brighten up any garden. The pods also have a nice flavor. Strong sun gives omnicolor a nice purple blush (anthocyanin), it's an defense mechanism against strong UV-radiation.
