What type of ornamental?
Has anyone any idea of what type pepper this is. It was sold as an ornamental, but no tag to identify type/name. Possibly a bird pepper of some kind maybe?

Purple Flash looks like this:  Notice the pale leaves. I kept thinking mine was getting sunburned, but that is how they are supposed to look. I would guess the OP's pepper is Black Pearl, but that is just a guess. |

You might be right.
Someone may have gotten their pictures or tags mixed up. Worth |

Lastfling, try it partial shade. They do okay in full sun, but seen to prefer it without the full blowtorch effect of the summer sun.
The pearls ripen to red. I find them too seedy with a soapy taste, but they are edible. |
