This compact variety is ideal for growing in pots. Its purple foliage makes it particularly ornamental. It produces clusters of small, 15 cm-long, purple-lavender fruits, whose fine flesh offers a highly appreciated flavor.

Sow in pots at a temperature of around 24°C, under a well-lit shelter, 10 weeks before planting. At the 2-3 leaf stage, transplant into individual cups if necessary, or into a nursery. After the last frosts, transplant the whole clump, burying the stem up to the first leaves, 50 cm apart in all directions. To lift dormancy, place seeds in the fridge for a week, at a temperature of 4-5°C.
In cool climates, it is preferable to grow under cover.
