Jimmy Nardello
C. Annuum
No HeatThe Jimmy Nardello, or The Jimmy Nardello Sweet Italian Frying Pepper, now its official name, is listed in the US Ark of Taste at Slow Food, the vegetable version of the endangered species list.
Giuseppe Nardiello and his wife, Angela set sail from the port of Naples in 1887 for a new life in America, Angela carried her one-year-old daughter Anna and a handful of the pepper seeds with them. They settled in Naugatuck, Connecticut, where they raised the peppers, and eleven children. The fourth one was a son named Jimmy and the legend grew from there. Frying peppers are something that has yet to be discovered properly, in Australia at least. They taste brilliant and you can put them with anything! We now have three of the world’s best “frying peppers” available to you. Just put frying peppers in the search bar!10+ seeds

Jumbo Jalapeno
C. Annuum
8,000 – 12,000 SHUIt’s a giant jalapeño! This one would certainly make whopper poppers. Also referred to as the ‘Numex Jalmundo’ this variety was developed at the New Mexico State University, (which creates all “NuMex” varieties of plants). The fruit have a smooth skin and very thick flesh, which makes them easier to stuff. They grow to around 6-7cm long and are hotter and sweeter than other Jalapeno varieties we have tried. We think everyone should grow a variety of Jalapeno as they are so versatile in the kitchen and just down right delicious. Most Numex Varieties have been bred to be more prolific and disease resistant so it makes sense to put this one on your grow list.

Krimzon Lee
C. Annuum
Aprox. 5,000 – 10,000 SHUBig, Beautiful and Bountiful are three words we would use to describe the Krimzon Lee. It’s thick fleshed, sweet and super big at around 20cm long and 5cms wide. The Krimzon Lee pepper is perfect roasted, fried, grilled and for making into a moderately spicy salsa. Grows around a meter high and even bigger in the ground but it will need good staking for support when it gets fruiting.

Lebanese Marble Chilli
C.Annuum
Approx 50,000 SHUThere are a few varieties of marble chillies around but this little beauty is a lovely edible ornamental chilli created by Oregon State University. It’s another great easy to grow pepper plant that produces small marble sized fruit that change a range of colours as they ripen – from white to purple to a vibrant red. Great for patios or small spaces and one that would make for a good bonsai as it is a very compact plant growing to around 18 inches or smaller depending on the size of your pot. Very productive.

Ljuti Pepper
C. Annuum
30,000 – 50,000 SHU
A mellow yellow in colour, this is a popular and widely used cayenne variety originating in the Balkens(Croatia). Ljuti in Croatian means hot so not the most creative juices went into naming it, but who cares, it tastes fantastic. The hardy plants produce prolific crops of green maturing to mellow yellow fruits similar in shape, size and heat to Cayenne. Fruit grow upwards and look great in their clusters. Taste wise they have a terrific zingy lemony pepper freshness that will have you coming back for more. The Ljuti is a great one for dried seasonings.
