These peppers are as much a landscape feature as they are a snack, thanks to their striking variegated foliage and candy-striped fruit. While you sacrifice the heavy yields of traditional varieties, you gain a compact, ornamental plant that looks just as good in a patio pot as it tastes fresh off the vine.
