This was the first ornamental variety released from NMSU intended for growing in small containers. It was released in 1988 to celebrate NMSU's Centennial celebrations. Many seed companies offer seed of this cultivar, unfortunately, under different names. 'NuMex Centennial' has purple flowers and purple foliage. The upright fruits are purple, then ripen to yellow, orange, and finally red. Very similar in appearence to the Bolivian Rainbow.
