The Count Dracula pepper is an ornamental and edible variety, prized for the striking contrast between its dark green foliage with purplish hues and its fruits, which darken as they ripen. In a vibrant garden, it immediately catches the eye and establishes itself as a presence that is both discreet in size, yet dazzling in the color of its upright peppers.

A member of the large family of cultivated chili peppers ( Capsicum annuum ), it naturally finds its place in a supportive vegetable garden or in a container on a sunny balcony. The fruits change color throughout the seasons, accompanying the gardener in a relationship with nature where daily observation becomes a pleasure. Its white flowers, followed by abundant fruiting, make it a reliable plant in a space that is both nourishing and decorative.
