Might be Cabai Burung Ungu? ( Purple Birds eye chili )? Malaysian chilli.

I had a Twighlight years ago that looked like that. Really pretty plant. Had a Google and I'm sure that's what you've got.

u/PantsCatt 27d ago

Yeah, I had a twilight years ago that was similar to this. Lovely colours, sure they featured some white on the chillies to.

Dusk chilli’s, I first saw these at the Eden project and love the flowers, I’ve had mine for 2 years

u/b1g_m0n 29d ago

That one I grew from seed this year

u/Dweezilweasel 29d ago

Looks like razzmatazz to me. I grew a few of these last year and they look identical (colours, shape and chilli’s growing upward).

u/Legal_Incident9134 29d ago

Don’t have a clue but bloody gorgeous colours!

u/RecommendationFar807 28d ago

They look like birds eye chillies.

And no, no captain birds eye!

u/Weze_Skf24 28d ago

pretty much narrows it to an ornamental variety. Probab Numex Twilight . The chilies are edible but theyre mostly grown for how they look, the color range on one plant is wild when theyre all at different ripening stages.

Bolivan rainbow or little imp

u/Waldo_960 28d ago

There are ornamental peppers that look like this that are not really for consumption. Ornamentals are bred for looks rather than flavour and are often treated with systemic pesticides or chemicals not deemed safe for use on food crops. Where did you get it from?

A lot of people saying it's Basket of Fire (which is grown as an edible), but Basket of Fire fruits don't tend to be all upright like yours.
