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.

1,000.000 – 1,200.000 SHUThe Wartryx, OMG THE WARTRYX! We feel as though the MA Wartryx should have its own drum roll. This chilli already has legendary status on several planets!

You will not forget this experience in a hurry! This one is still very hard to get so get it while you can!

1,000 – 1,500 SHUWe are well pleased with this little beauty know as the peppadew in culinary circles.

It’s cute, its tasty and won’t kill you with heat – even the kids will love them. The Peppadew seems to do well in colder temperatures and when it gets going it produces a mega amount of fruit.

Malaysian Explosive Ember
C.Annuum
2,000-3,000 SHUThis version of the ornamental explosive ember is quite a bit different to the original variety most people know of. We got this variety from a friend and fell in love with it. It seems to be more compact and dainty than the original explosive ember ornamental chilli plant. The pods are smaller too, having more of a vibrant yet pastel colour to them. It’s super productive and when the pods get going it just lights up the garden like no other. Totally easy to grow and is low maintenance as well. This one should be on your short list for an ornamental type chilli that actually tastes pretty good as it’s not too seedy. Size wise the plant grows about 20cm tall x 20cm wide – perfect for the patio.
