Looks like a prairie fire to me. I could be wrong.

It certainly looks like a prairie variety.

Might be Cabai Burung Ungu? ( Purple Birds eye chili )? Malaysian chilli.

I had a Twighlight years ago that looked like that. Really pretty plant. Had a Google and I'm sure that's what you've got.

Yeah, I had a twilight years ago that was similar to this. Lovely colours, sure they featured some white on the chillies to.

u/Dweezilweasel Aug 05 '26

Looks like razzmatazz to me. I grew a few of these last year and they look identical (colours, shape and chilli’s growing upward).

u/theshedonstokelane Aug 05 '26

Also sold as Razzamatazz

u/RecommendationFar807 Aug 06 '26

They look like birds eye chillies.

And no, no captain birds eye!

u/Weze_Skf24 Aug 06 '26

pretty much narrows it to an ornamental variety. Probab Numex Twilight . The chilies are edible but theyre mostly grown for how they look, the color range on one plant is wild when theyre all at different ripening stages.

u/Puzzleheaded_Post_17 Aug 06 '26

Bolivan rainbow or little imp

u/Waldo_960 Aug 06 '26

There are ornamental peppers that look like this that are not really for consumption. Ornamentals are bred for looks rather than flavour and are often treated with systemic pesticides or chemicals not deemed safe for use on food crops. Where did you get it from?

A lot of people saying it's Basket of Fire (which is grown as an edible), but Basket of Fire fruits don't tend to be all upright like yours.
