Ornamental Pepper (Capsicum Annuum Goldfinger) - Goldfinger is another unique Ornamental Pepper than can be grown from Capsicum seeds and enjoyed indoors as a house plant. Capsicum Goldfinger grows just a little bit taller than the Filius Blue ornamental pepper, and it produces finger-shaped yellow fruits. Ornamental Peppers are also known as Christmas Peppers. Start enough Capsicum seeds to have Christmas Pepper plants for gift giving!
For summer use, sow the Ornamental Pepper flower seeds indoors 6 - 8 weeks before planting outside. Lightly cover the Capsicum seeds with their thickness in soil. Maintain a temperature alternating between 68F nights and 80F days. After danger of frost has passed, transplant outdoors and pinch the seedling back to encourage a bushier plant. Ornamental Pepper plants are very attractive in the front of the border or grow them in containers for the deck and patio. For Christmas Pepper plants being given as gifts, sow Capsicum seeds in August for plants that are loaded with peppers at Christmas. For the best fruits at Christmas, grow the plants outdoors and bring them in before frost. The peppers will mature in 90-100 days.
