Tender Annual. Native to North and South America, this colorful annual is grown for its highly ornamental fruit which turns from green to yellow to red in a season. In full sun, the foliage will turn to a deep purple. An interesting container plant or border plant. Seeds need light to germinate and this annual will self-sow. 'Candlelight' is the variety pictured.
