I got this plant from my mother because I’m interested in chili planting. She choose this from a supermarket (Tesco) because it had a chili symbol on it. It says Capsicum aanum sombrero which from the symbol said to be not edible and might not even be chili. From a google search the name Capsicum aanum I found that it refers to a non edible indoor pepper type which is basically for decoration (more like not edible) but also found some sources saying that it’s edible but with the symbol on it I don’t want to risk it. I have also found a website contributing it to be a chili type because of the Sombrero name (so fully Capsicum aanum Sombrero). I can’t decide what kind of plant this is. Does anyone know? And how should I take care of it?

We just planted peppers this year. We ordered a couple batches of seeds online and so far things are growing. The Vampire peppers are doing the best. Good luck with this
