Then why is the store selling them as ornamental, the purple peppers. 
they looked very cool. Soon as I seen (ornamental) I passed.

Im sorry. I swore the fish peppers i purchased were sold as ornamentals, but was wrong. They easily could be though. The strations on the leaves are stunning

You can eat ornamental peppers. All capsicums are edible, as far as I am aware. I have grown and eaten a few different kinds of “ornamental” pepper. The reason they are ornamental is normally that they are gross and bitter, but cool looking. Having said that, if you are buying plants it is possible that they have treated the ones sold as “ornamental” with some non edible nasty stuff, so maybe don’t eat the ones from the garden center sold as ornamental. But if you start them from seed, you should be good to go.
One of the tastiest peppers I have ever had was “Black Pearl”, which is sold as an ornamental. Tastes like lime and pepperoni!

Just me, but I find green stage peppers are bitter compared to when they turn red. Some peppers never get red, Fataliis, some Ajis, Chocolates, but most do.
I’ve always thought ornamental peppers were called that because they have small pretty fruit, and are a pain in the rear to harvest , so we just look at them

can’t say but looks pathogenic & something to get rid of ASAP 
Took it off last night and it was all black inside. 
But on a better note. Here is your Hawaiian heirloom (ghost hybrid). @cannabissequoia

Those look like they would be good pickled or chopped up for a stir fry. Very nice!

Wow! That’s a big mother 
Thanks for all the growing & pics 
Really nice to see
The fruits seem to vary in shape _more than other peppers I’ve grown), in case anyone notices that…some are pointed & others more like a bell-pepper.
@SkunkHunt101 – I don’t have any more of these seeds 
sorry

Who can tell me what’s going on here. The seeds I ordered were aji pineapple , tiger jalapeno, habanada and broom. This looks nothing like any of those. And it’s squirting out peppers everywhere.

With the whole “jalapeño gate” thing this year I would not be the least bit surprised it other pepper seed stock got mixed up too. If they didn’t, the inventory discrepancy would have been noticed, and it would have come out before everyone’s jalapeños turned out be wax peppers.
Who did you buy the seeds from? I have a suspicion, but I’m going to hold it until you respond haha.

Ahh, I was wrong then haha.
But it looks like Baker Creek’s “Jigsaw”.

Different from the super hot of the same name. I’ve grown it before, and can confirm, it should remain an ornamental, cause it tastes terrible haha. Maybe yours is an accidental cross and it’ll taste good though, who know.

The plant looks identical tho the fruit is different. Very strange. I’m excited to try them. Hopefully they taste amazing haha
