Can anyone tell me what this ornamental pepper might be? Or advise me if a different forum is appropriate for ornamentals?

I started 5 different ornamentals from seed:

Black Pearl
Explosive Ember
Purple Flash
Shu
Trifetti Variegata

As seedlings, this plant's leaves looked different from the other 5, so I set it aside and gave it a different place in the garden.

And it is definitely different, in habit and fruit, than the others.

It's about 18 inches tall, spreading outward and upward, tolerating a partially shady location, and produces small, upright fruit going from green quickly to purple, then, after quite a while, to red.
