First the good news. The Chilli Sicily and the yellow Chilli (variety unknown) are thriving. Here are photos of both of them.

But the Chilli Trifetti - grown in exactly the same conditions - has all these off-white patches on the leaves. There is no sign of pests so is it sun scorch? If so I can't think how this has happened because I have not spilt any water on them. ??? G x

HAS IT ALWAYGROWN WITH THE LEAVES LIKE THAT,OR HAS IT JUST HAPPEN
I think it started when it had about 6 true leaves.

There's a chilli variety called Fish that has variegated leaves like that....have just checked and, yes, Trifetti does have variegated leaves.

Ooops, I feel such a fool! ::) Thanks for putting my mind at rest though Barnowl. :)

No problem - just let me have a few seeds when they mature ;D
Barnowl I have a few spares if you want to risk a late sowing. The seeds were given to me by Amazin but I'm certain a fellow gardener would rather the seeds were used asap. PM me if interested.

Trifetti have tricoloured leaves - green purple and cream - I just assumed that's where they got their name from! Barnowl, you should be okay to sow now.
Blimey, G! Your chillies are way ahead of mine - well done!
(no, I'm not at all envious - this green complexion is a trick of the light).
;D
Do Triffiti chillies have green fruit, turning black then ripen to red?
LOL@Amazin. ;D
Star, according to the blurb Amazin sent me, Trifetti have stumpy, tear-shaped, glossy hot purple fruits about 1"long which mature to red.
