Back then,when a gardener grew plants for decoration and plants for food,the garden was called a “potager.” An example of this is the large gardens on the lawns(草坪) of castles and very large homes where kings and queens lived,One of those large royal homes was the French king's palace at Versailles during the 1600's.The palace is still there today,and people from all over the world still go there to visit and see the gardens.
Today,Stommel says using vegetables as decorations in gardens has become popular again.
So you might be wondering,if these peppers are for decoration,can people eat them? Yes,but the fruit from both of these peppers has a sharp taste (kind of like onions!)
These peppers are scheduled to become available in mid2011.These pretty peppers can be grown in containers and also in garden beds.They grow best with plenty of light and warm temperatures,Stommel says.
