We thought we would open our vaults and offer the serious chilli head the opportunity to sample some varieties we have in our PRIVATE COLLECTION. But please don’t order if you don’t like surprises and like to keep things predicable. We have a range of chilli seed varieties that we love but for a number of reasons don’t offer them for sale on our site. SO WHAT WILL YOU GET? – you will receive one special chilli seed variety we can guarantee is either super rare / not yet available / simply stunning in it’s beauty / or one that is a not deemed stable but extremely cool and/or extremely tasty. But please don’t order this product if you are someone who likes to keep things ORDINARY. You will NOT know what you have till you grow it! Good Luck we hope you get something awesome!

After Glow – Space Chilli (HJ 10)
C.Annuum
Approx. 6,000-10,000 SHUThis is one of the most prolific of the space chillies and grows red. Up to 40 fruit on the plant at once and it just keeps pumping them out. Very similar to a cayenne look and taste wise but quite a bit sweeter. Like the cayenne chilli pepper this one is very versatile but we love them fresh or pickled.
“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.”

Aji Cito
C.Baccatum
80,000 – 100,000 SHUThis is said to be the hottest baccatum around measuring up to 100,000 SHU. This chilli pepper plant is an awesome producer of 5cm long and 1cm wide chillies – bright yellow almost orange in colour. This Peruvian chilli pepper has a slightly sweet citrus flavour that is great fresh or dried. It smells very intriguing almost like a MANGO!

Aji Colorado (Orange Variant)
C.Baccatum
20,000 – 30,000 SHUWe grew this one expecting the usual red variety but it has consistently thrown out amazing fluorescent orange pods – we love it. It is fast growing, fairly compact and a very prolific chilli pepper. The original Aji Colorado, from which this is a variant, is native to Bolivia and Peru. Packed with flavour these sweet-spicy, thin-walled chillies are extremely versatile. We love this pepper made into a powder as it really brings out the best of its flavour profile.

Aji Mango Stumpy
C.Baccatum
20,000 – 30,000 SHUWhat an absolute ripper this one is. Created by the pepperlover crew this is the stumpy version that has all the same qualities as the original longer pheno type. Crazy producer of 3cm x 1cm sized fruit/pods the Aji Mango will blow you away. Ripening to a deep bright yellow the fruit taste sweet and fruity. Yes as its namesake implies it does have a hint of mango like fruity flavour. As for what it would be good with we can only say SAUCE SAUCE SAUCE. But we have it on everything from pizza to pasta to salads. Do yourself a favour and grow this one.

Aji Melocoton Yellow
C. Baccatum
Approx. 10,000 – 30,000 SHUWhat do we have here, a yellow Aji Melocoton. First ever that we know of… Melocoton means peach in spanish so we should really call this one Aji Melocoton aka Amarillo. You can’t go wrong with baccatum’s for flavour and this one is very citrusy sweet with slight lemon undertones. Originally created by Judy at Pepperlover why not be one of the first to grow the yellow variety. The plant grows tall and gangly, needing a good staking in its first year. Super prolific with non seedy fruit that change from green to a lovely yellow. We have grown it out twice and gotten the yellow variety each time but who knows you may even get another surprise colour.

Aji Peruvian
C.Baccatum
20,000-50,000 SHUAnother great baccatum variety from Peru. These little spear/torpedo shaped chillies are not explosively hot with an almost apple crossed with a berry sweet flavour. It’s a super prolific plant growing quiet lanky to about a meter high. Fruit ripen from light green to orange to finally red and are 3-5cm long by 1-1.5cm wide. Easy maintenance and a fine one for pepping up something like a pizza.
