NuMex Pinata
C. Annuum
45,000 – 50,000SHUWhat a colourful Jalapeno type chilli this one is. It has all the colours of the sunset as it ripens with a hint of corking. It turns from green to yellow, to orange and finally red when ripe and it looks amazing as it makes its colour transformation. You could say it’s a multicoloured Jalapeno with a touch more heat than it’s forebears. This one was developed at the New Mexico State University in 1997. Pods grow to approximately 6-8cm long and 3cm wide and are fat and juicy with a thick wall.
It is quite a compact bushy growing plant that grows to 2-3 foot tall. Being relatively mild in heat this one is great in salsas and even salads. We haven’t tried making poppers with them but we think they would be awesome eaten this way or just roasted on their own.

ODA Pepper
C. Annuum
SWEET 0 SHUThe ODA is one of the most beautiful chillies we have grown EVER…It is simply stunning with its colour transformations as it grows bigger and bigger to around 6cm x 8cms. Starting creamy white the fruit then turn a vibrant purple before ripening to a deep orange red. Plant wise the ODA is very small and compact considering the size of the peppers. So you can even grow them in medium sized pots with the right supply of nutrients. We found it super easy to grow and the peppers got real big, real fast. The fruit are thick-fleshed and mostly cone-shaped with an amazing sweet rich flavour. No heat to this one but who cares when it looks this good. A great replacement for your usual red capsciums for a tastier salad and/or stir fry.

Pasilla Bajio

Its mild, rich and smokey and very good when dried or powdered. It’s enthusiastically used in most mole sauces. It’s also very productive! Do yourself a favour and give it a go.

Peter Pepper Yellow (Penis Pepper)
C. Chinense x C. Annum

Whilst the fruit shapes produced by each plant do vary, you should still have a good percentage that come out looking much like their nickname. It’s origin is believed to be Appalachia in the United States. A great talking point in the garden this little beauty even tastes great.

Pimenta Lisa – Fat Bullet
C. Chinense / Annuum
Approx 300,000 SHUThe Pimenta Lisa is an unstable cross between Pimenta de Neyde x White Habanero, the creator naming it after his daughter ‘LISA’. We don’t sell many varieties that haven’t proven themselves stable but this is one of the special exceptions. We fell in love with the colour, taste and shape – calling it fat bullet as that’s what we think it looks like. It has awesome foliage that is quite a number of shades of green with dark stems. The plant itself grows to less than a meter and the fruit go from vibrant deep dark peach to almost white. And wow what an fruity sweet aroma it gives off and the taste is actually peachy like. Even if yours doesn’t grow quite like ours we almost guarantee you will love the unpredictable results. Sometimes the fun of growing is in the surprises we get.

Pulsar – Space Chilli (HJ 6)
C.Annuum
6,000-10,000 SHUAnother delicious juicy space chilli. An awesome chilli pepper that has spent some time in zero gravity. It has less than a Jalapeno level of heat and like all the space chillies is very prolific. Not many can brag that they have space chillies – be one of the first.
“For many decades work has been going on by the Chinese who have been sending seeds into orbit on satellites exposing them to zero gravity. It has become apparent that the trip into space is creating higher yields, bigger produce, and an increase in the levels of nutrients in the resulting fruit.”

Purple Candlelight
C. Annuum
50,000 – 75,000 SHUThere are a lot of ornamental chillies out there but this one is a ripper if you are crazy about purple varieties.

Unbelievably easy to maintain, the Purple Candlelight is a great variety to grow in small patio pots. Plant height is around 60cms with pod size 2.5cm long. They are edible when ripe and the flavour is quite similar to a birdseye.

Purple Jalapeno
C. Annuum
3,500 – 8,000 SHUNow this…A Purple Jalapeno…how cool is that. Starting out as green this variety then transitions to a deep purple almost black before turning a fire truck red. The Purple Jalapeno is a beautiful pepper hybrid that when left to mature is quite a bit hotter and sweeter than your average Jalapeno. The plant has gorgeous purple flowers that add to its ornamental value in the garden and the fruit are big and plump like the usual Jalapeno. We think this variety is just begging to be pickled in all three stages of its colour transitions.

Purple Leaf Heart
C. Annuum
50,000 – 75,000 SHUThere are a lot of ornamental chillies out there but this one is top of the bill. We have never seen a chilli this vibrant purple with an amazing array of colour transitions as it ripens. From fluorescent purple to speckly yellow, this one eventually turns a fire engine red. Just look at the pictures for an idea of it’s beauty. The foliage and stems are a shimmery purple-black with the leaves being close to heart shape. Not the best to eat being quite seedy, but who wants to eat something so pretty – it just doesn’t seem right.

This one is still like my my very first girlfriend….
