It produces a great many small fruits, 1–2 cm long, which change color as they ripen from purple to yellow, then orange, and finally red. The fruits are very hot – the producer rates them 9\/10 – and retain their quality for a long time after drying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e bushy, compact, about 60 cm tall\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFruits:\u003c\/strong\u003e small (1–2 cm), purple → yellow → orange → red\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHeat:\u003c\/strong\u003e very high, 9\/10 on the producer's scale\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSowing under cover:\u003c\/strong\u003e February – March\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePlanting out:\u003c\/strong\u003e after May 15–20, in pots or under cover\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e July–October\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePosition:\u003c\/strong\u003e full sun, warm, well-drained soil\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e challenging – needs warmth and a long growing season\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSeeds per packet:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eWhat makes this variety special\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe variety's greatest asset is its ornamental appeal. As the fruits ripen gradually, several colors are visible on a single bush at the same time – from purple to red. The plant looks great in a pot on a patio or balcony and serves a dual purpose: ornamental and edible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe small fruits have thin walls and dry easily, retaining their heat for a long time once dried. This is a late variety, with a growing cycle of about 140–180 days, so it's worth starting seedlings as early as possible within the recommended period and giving the plants the warmest spot available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eGrowing step by step\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eSowing (February – March, under cover):\u003c\/strong\u003e Sow the seeds 2–3 mm deep in a light, moist seed-starting mix. Keep the container at a steady 23–28 °C – hot peppers germinate more slowly than sweet peppers, usually within 8–15 days, so a heat mat is useful. Keep the mix slightly moist, and once the seedlings emerge, give them as much light as possible, ideally with supplemental lighting, to prevent them from becoming leggy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003ePricking out:\u003c\/strong\u003e When the seedlings have developed 3–4 true leaves, transplant them individually into pots 8–10 cm in diameter, keeping them warm. Harden off the seedlings for the last 7–10 days before planting out by placing them outside for a few hours each day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003ePlanting out (after May 15–20):\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant the seedlings in a greenhouse, polytunnel, or the warmest, wind-sheltered spot in the garden, spacing them about 50 × 50 cm apart. The soil should be fertile, well-drained, and enriched with compost. For container growing, choose a pot with a capacity of at least 5–10 l.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water regularly and moderately, preferably in the morning and without wetting the leaves – both letting the soil dry out and keeping it constantly wet will reduce fruiting. Feed the plants with an organic fertilizer high in potassium while the fruits are setting. Thanks to its compact habit, the plant usually needs no support. At the end of the season, you can move the pot to a bright, warm room so the last fruits can ripen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eUses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNuMex Twilight is primarily an \u003cstrong\u003eornamental pepper for pots\u003c\/strong\u003e on a \u003cstrong\u003ebalcony or patio\u003c\/strong\u003e.
