The Chinese 5 Colour chilli is a vibrant Capsicum annuum variety renowned for its ornamental appeal and medium heat. Its compact, bushy plants produce conical peppers that transition through five stunning colours—purple, cream, yellow, orange, and red—as they mature. With a Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) range of 30,000 to 50,000, these chillies offer a heat level comparable to cayenne peppers. Beyond their visual charm, they provide a sweet, fruity flavour, making them ideal for salsas and pickling. Originating from China, this heirloom variety thrives in full sun and reaches maturity in approximately 80–90 days. Its compact size makes it perfect for container gardening, adding both beauty and spice to any setting.

Seeds Quality

Every seed we sell is grown at the ChilliChump homestead, so we control the whole process from sowing to harvest. Seeds are handpicked from healthy plants, processed using methods we’ve refined over the years, and germination-tested before they reach you.

Unless a listing says otherwise, every variety we sell is a stable line (F7+), so it breeds true season after season and won’t throw unexpected traits on its own. That leaves one thing to manage: cross-pollination, where stray pollen reaches a flower on an insect or a gust of wind while it’s in bloom. We take more care over isolation than most, which keeps the risk small, but no outdoor grower can rule it out entirely, so we don’t claim 100% purity. The only way to TRULY isolate chilli varieties is to grow just one variety within a quarter-mile to a mile radius from any other chilli pepper variety.

You can read what other growers think in our reviews, and the ChilliChump YouTube channel follows these plants through every season, so you can see exactly where your seeds come from. If you’re ever unhappy with seeds from us, please get in touch.
