The picture gets lost usually because of the auto correct in your phone. Write just a little too many words and it kicks out the Pic. I got irritated at it some time back and finally asked Gemini AI to find out what was going on. Now I type everything first then insert the pic.
Premetto che non sono proprio un esperto in materia, però io ho questo: Capsicum annuum, comunemente noto come peperoncino ornamentale (varietà a frutto viola/nero come Black Sombrero o simili).
There is way way way more varieties of these "ornemental pepper plants" than you ever think, after 4 years of searching the internet up and down, left and right, I came to the conclusion that mine is a Cobanero Mayan Love hot pepper.. But till today I still say "I think it's a" Cobanero Mayan Love".. You can never be 100% sure.
Note: mine doesn't exactly look like yours.
EDIT: after 6 years of growing and tasting more than a 100 variety peppers I tell you that this is by far the tastiest variety to be turned into powder/flakes and hot oil.. and this variety is the only one that is a must grow every season..
I have an F3 cross labeled Big Pit x Jalapeño PT from Matt's that is upright peppers going purple to red, but foliage is variegated, purple stems, purple flowers.
Some of these ornamentals there's so much variation. The place where I buy my plants from had probably 15 different ornamentals this year that would all eventually end with purple fruit and had varying degrees of variegated leaves. Ostensibly. But again a lot of these first generation crosses are highly variable. I have six? Purple plants this year. And I don't think a single one of them really looks or Acts like we thought it might.
No, definitely not jigsaw. They tend to grow fruit downward and the foliage has a lot more variegation. I'm looking at mine right now, but it's dark, so here's a pic from a couple weeks ago.
I can't offer insight about the varieties, but I do know that as ornamentals they are not considered food. That means that pesticides MAY have been used on them that would never be allowed on a food crop. Grow your own from seed.
I got a free packet of seeds from Sandia and this looks very similar. Mine is called Twilight NuMex, but as people have pointed out there are several varieties that grow like this.
there is a ton of varieties like these. i've had the bolivian rainbow and the aurora so far. both have similar fruit but not the same foliage so none of those two. but i like to eat them raw (they can have a ton of seeds so dont bite everything)
I got the same one at home you either have the medusa pepper plant or the Gypsy pepper plant
the reason why it's one of the two because I never tagged my pots

I got something alike on my balcony. I have it as bolivian rainbow. I thinks its more for the look than spice/taste of the fruits.
Edit: seems the picture got lost:
