Mini Piperka
C. Annuum
10,000 – 20,000 SHU
This chilli is super cute we have to say. The Mini Piperka(The Vezena Piperka) is a Heirloom pepper from Macedonia and is super rare. This is the miniature version of the normal Vezena Piperka. Super sweet with an amazing fruity cherry like flavor the pods grow to about 3-4cms long. The outside has an awesome embroided/corked outer skin with the inside being soft and blood red in colour. They are used in many dishes in Macedonia and made into beautiful sauces. Dried we think they’d make great Paprika powder. The Mini Vezena Piperka chilli plants grow between 2-3 feet tall and are very productive.

Orange Torpedo Rocoto
C. Pubescens
Approx. 50,000 SHUOur very first Rocoto variety, the Orange Torpedo is one we have obtained from the PATCH ON THE BELLARINE. We love the colour, we love the shape and most importantly we love the flavour. A chilli much prized in its native Mexico City for use primarily in salsas, it has an amazing sweet apple-like flavour. The Pubescens species is quite different from other chilli species. It has hairy foliage and contains more Dihydrocapsaicin than capsaicin resulting in a different deeper and longer burn. Go on give it a go.

Piri Piri (African Birdseye)
C. Frutescens
Approx. 100,000 – 225,000 SHUThe Piri Piri otherwise known as the African Birdseye is an oldie but a goodie. Ours produces hundreds of pods all year round and short of hitting it with a nuke they’re impossible to kill. Hardy, prolific and super versatile in the kitchen you can’t go wrong with this little cracker.
Originating in Guyana Africa they were given their name because of being spread by birds. Bird’s Eye peppers add a milder heat than most other chilli peppers – for the seasoned chilli eater that is. They go great with seafood and can even be ground up and mixed in water to use as a repellent for garden nasties/pests.

Pumpkin Cili
C.Baccatum
2,000-5,000 SHURare and exclusive…We grew this one from seeds from our good friend Alice Lennard – a chilli queen in her own right. It’s beautiful to say the least and it tastes just as good as it looks. It starts off a ripening to purple then slowly to a bright red if your are patient. The origins of this one are obscure and the most information we have is that it was originally purchased from a local market overseas. Sweet and spicy as a cayenne but definitely not as hot. Very limited stock on this beauty.

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. We found this one to be particularly vibrant in its purple stage before transitioning through a rainbow spectrum of colours, turning a final red. 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 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….

Red Brazilian Starfish
C.Baccatum
5,000-30,000 SHUThe Brazilian Starfish is a much sort after variety of chilli pepper and is a very unusual due to its uniquely shaped pods. It can be as hot as 30,000 SHU but mostly comes in the lower heat range. The Brazilian Starfish is a tall growing plant and has a vine like habit. It produces very good yields of 2cm long by 4cm wide starfish-shaped pods that are very mild in heat.
The chilli pepper matures from green to red in around 70-90 days after transplanting. The white flowers of this plant are also very attractive with the very distinctive Baccatum greenish-yellow markings. As it’s name indicates, this highly sought after comes originally from Brazil. The unique shape of these chilli peppers make them an awesome addition to your chilli pepper collection and garden. It can be quite cold resistant and is quite prolific during the hotter months. Flavour wise it is a bit fruity and sweet some saying it has a hint of apple flavour.
