I am looking for the name of a chili plant that has different color chili's on it.

I saw 1 at a farmers market and it had red, green, yellow and purple chili's on it. It was in a pot and had a sign saying it was a marado sol chili plant, but I haven't been able to find one. I believe it was both ornamental and edible. I would love to find out the name of the plant. Thank You in advance for your help.

Sounds like it could be a Bolivian Rainbow plant. That's the only one I'm aware of that has purple chilis. Check out the photos at the Google Images link (http://images.google.ca/images?um=1&hl=en&client=firefox-a&channel=s&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=Bolivian+Rainbow+Plant&btnG=Search+Images ) and see if this is anything like what you saw.

This site offers some more info on how to grow the plant: http://www.growquest.com/pepper%20bolivian_rainbow_.htm

If you're looking to buy seeds, or if the Bolivian Rainbow is not the plant you were thinking of, you can find information on other types of chili plants here: http://www.chillifarm.com/chilli_store/seeds.asp

There's a kind of jalapeno which has multicolored chilis:

NuMex Pinata jalapeno

"...noted for being tasty throughout its colour transformation (from green to yellow to orange to red)"
