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.

Purple Pumpkin.
C.Chinense
350,000 – 450,000 SHUThe Purple Pumpkin is one of the best ornamentals there is. While most ornamental chillies are quite small, this one has quite large pods that hang on the bush for a long time while they go through the most amazing colour changes! They start green then turn purple and then finally red. As the colours change they get quite blotchy which make it really striking to look at! Not only does it look great it tastes nice and sweet! Subjectively we think it is about Hab heat. Looks good, tastes good. How can you go wrong?

Purple Reaper
C.Chinense
Unknown SHUThe mythical Purple Reaper is here! This reaper variety was created by the amazing chilli grower Carlos Jnr from Brazil. We have been looking forward to this one for a long time and we know you guys have too! Ok, we know it’s not completely stable yet but that doesn’t mean it’s not fun to grow, right? Having said that, the pheno is surprisingly good and you will get a lot of great purple pods with awesome stingers which will eventually ripen to red. We know what you are thinking and YES, the Purple Reaper IS Unbelievably HOT! So hot we thought being burned at the stake would be a pleasant alternative. These will go fast so don’t miss out!

Rats Turd – Prik Kee Nu
C. Annuum
Approx. 150,000 SHU
What a little cutie. We almost didn’t grow this one as it’s name turned us off initially – not sure why…? This very tweeny chilli is very popular in Thailand where it is a special favourite of the locals. Prik Kee Nu (prik=chilli/kee=shit/nu=rat) ripens from green to orange to red and they pack some serious heat considering their size! It is a great little producer and great size to throw in an omelette or some scrambled eggs – well that’s what we do! Note: It sometimes also goes by the native name of Prik Kee Noo.

Red Fatalii
C. Chinense
Approx 350,000 – 500,000 SHUThe Fatalii is one of the few Chinense chillies with origins in Africa – the Congo to be more specific. If you’re a fan of the original yellow fatalii then we guarantee you will LOVE the rarer red natural variant version. It has a slightly tangier sweeter flavour than the yellow and the pods are a bit shorter and fatter. This strain is close to being 100% stable but there’s a tiny chance you will get a random yellow or even orange coloured fruit pop up. The plant is quite stocky for a Chinense variety and the pods are on average between 5-6 cm long and about 3cm wide. It is ‘pretty’ hot and like the yellow version it has a heat that jumps around the mouth before it quickly dissipates. Tremendously fruity and citrusy we think its just perfect for a tangy chilli sauce.

Saffron Habanero
C.Chinense
150,000-250,000 SHUIf you are after something a bit different try the Saffron Habanero. It’s only a small plant but a really good producer! These medium sized fruit are crunchy and fresh. They also have a fairly light, sweet and fruity taste. Well worth growing in a pot. This one is not easy to find.

Scotch Brains
C.Chinense
400,000 to 800,000 SHUScotch Brains, as its name suggest, is a cross of the Scotch Bonnet and the Yellow 7 Pot Brain strain. It has quickly become one of the best crosses around and is by now a very stable chilli. While it is a little hotter than your normal Scotch Bonnet, it is citrusy and tastes amazing. Nearly everyone that tries the Scotch Brains has fallen in love with it and you will too! If all that wasn’t enough, it is hugely productive as well. You can ask for more than that!

Sili-A-Top
C.Bacatuum
30,000 – 50,000 SHUThis is a rare variety from the Philippines – Sili means chilli pepper in Tagalog the native Filipino language. Ripening to a gorgeous fluorescent orange this one is a real stunner. Some develop a purply tinge as they ripen. The fruit mostly grow a bit twisty at 8-10 cm long and 2 cm wide. Plant grows a bit gangly and we found it to be very productive. Super tasty with a sweet and fruity flavour this one would be a great addition to a salsa or stir fry.

Sugar Rush Peach
C. Baccatum
100,000 – 200,000 SHUThe Sugar Rush Peach is a one of a kind and highly sought after. It is one of the Aji types from Peru. This chilli is so sweet you can almost believe you are eating a piece of tropical fruit!…well almost! It’s certainly one of the best tasting around at the moment with its sweet, citrusy crunch! As for the amount of heat, most agree it’s a bit less than a habanero. The possibilities for the Sugar Rush Peach are endless so let your imagination go wild. This is the chilli of the moment!
