- 💙 Blue Lips create a pretty floral display on this shade-loving shrub with its attractive glossy green foliage.
- 💙 Flowers are mauve-blue to purple and the lower petals are ribbed, giving the impression of lips, hence the common name.
- 💙 Five fringed lobes, equal in size, short and rounded, are the flowers distinguishing feature.

❤️ Extremely showy, ornamental peppers with culinary benefits. Great for container garden.
❤️ What separates this variety from others is its unique intense fruity habanero flavor which packs quite a bang! 💥
