This compact chilli pepper plant creates an eye-catching display with upright clusters of smooth, tapered fruits that rise above the foliage in shades shifting from deep green to vivid red. Its tidy, vigorous form suits pots on a sunny patio or balcony, where the bunching habit shows clearly and adds strong ornamental value. The fruits develop firm, thick walls and hold their colour well, making them handy for fresh cooking or for drying into flakes and powders.

Heat levels sit in the hotter range (around 30,000-70,000 SHU) yet stay balanced enough for everyday dishes, offering a clean, lingering warmth. Grow chilli ‘Etna’ for a reliable crop that looks striking through the season and performs well for both new and experienced growers wanting a productive, decorative plant.
