Hi,

The first plant I bought was Numex. I didn't know it at the time because
there wasn't a label. It's a NuMex Centennial. The chillies ripen from
purple to cream to yellow to orange to red. It's a great plant and usually
has plenty of chillies. The chillies are very flavoursome and have a unique
taste. The plant also acts as a great ornamental. I've never had any of the
other types of Numex so I don't know what's the best. But I do recommend
Numex Centennial, one of my favourites.

I hope this helps and you can find a picture of the chilli plant at:

There are other pictures of different Numex varieties at:

Good Luck,

Cheers, Beau
