Cosmo is a compact chilli pepper that dazzles with brilliant purple, snack-sized fruit, maturing to a vibrant red. Both ornamental and edible, it’s perfect for pots indoors or out, adding colour and spice to any space. Beyond its decorative appeal, Cosmo delivers a lively heat, whether used fresh in salads or cooked into savoury dishes, it brings just the right kick to Cape Town kitchens. Its tidy growth habit makes it an easy choice for gardeners who love beauty and flavour in small spaces.
Cosmo’s purple-to-red transformation isn’t just eye-catching. It signals the perfect moment to pick for maximum flavour. Think of it as a built-in ripeness indicator!
