Black Piquin
C. Annuum
50,000 – 75,000 SHUThis one has been named the Black Piquin perhaps because like the original red variety the Spanish call it pequeño meaning small. It is a chilli that is not only a stunning black before it ripens but also has a very unique black speckled foliage. It is a compact growing plant getting to approximately half a meter tall. Like it’s red namesake the flavour is citrusy and a little nutty. Fruit grow to 1.5cms tall by 0.5cm’s wide or smaller and would be great smoked or to heat up any dish. For those who love black chillies this is one for the collection.

Black Prince
C.Annuum
10,000-30,000 SHU
The Black prince is a striking plant originating in Mexico. It gets to about 60 cm high and is mainly grown for its ornamental value although the small fruit, while not very hot, is great in a salad or recipe where you need the chilli flavour but not the heat. Don’t forget that they do turn red when they are ripe, which takes quite a while.

Black Scorpion Tongue (Variant)
C. Annuum
Approx. 50,000 – 80,000 SHU
What a stunner – this is our favourite new variety for its looks alone. THSC released an F2 phenotype of a new Black Scorpion Tongue variety and this is how ours turned out. We can’t guarantee its stability but what a beauty to play with to see what you get. If its anything like ours you will get the most intense purple coloured pods that ripen through a rainbow array of colours. Just check out the pics. Pods grow prolifically and upright getting to about 3cm long and 1.5cms wide in size. The flowers on this stunner are the best we’ve ever seen on a chilli plant and have to be seen to be believed. Limited stock on this one so why not try your hand at growing this unique pepper to admire in your garden. What does it taste like? Salty and bitter but who cares it looks amazing.

Blue Christmas
C. Annuum
Approx. 20,000 – 40.000 SHU
The Blue Christmas chilli plant grows to about 50 cm in a pot and is one of the most beautiful chilli varieties we have seen. The stems and leaves are dark purple and the pods colour transformations are just stunning. The fruit ripen from a pastel pink, bright purple, fluorescent orange and then red. It is speculated that it earned its name from being shaped like a Christmas Tree covered with colourful Christmas lights. Salty sweet flavour that is quite good considering it’s an ornamental type. But we think they’re too pretty to eat…;-)

Bolivian Orange
C.Baccatum
60,000-100,000 SHUAnother great baccatum variety – from it’s namesake Bolivia. We originally sourced seeds from Pepperlovers and there is not a great deal of available info on them. We can however say that they have an amazing sweet orange citrus flavour that is very unique. These twisted spear/torpedo shaped chillies are not explosively hot and grow to about 4-5cms long and 1cm wide. Plants grow quite gangly and need staking when it starts fruiting. Fruit ripen from light green to a lovely orange. This is definitely one that’s easy to grow and we simply love it freshly chopped over any good meal including pizza.

Broome Chilli
C. Annuum
5,000 – 8,000 SHULet’s say “G’day mate” to the Broome chilli. It originates from the very remote coastal town of Broome in the North West of Australia. These are still quite rare but if you want to grow something uniquely Australian, this is for you. It tastes slightly sour then sweet and is great stuffed – worth growing for everyday use. It’s also very prolific and has a very unique rectangular shape. A true “fair dinkum Aussie.”

The Cabaca Pepper is quite a compact plant with dark green/purple foliage – producing fruit that start purple and go a vibrant then deep red.

Approx 20,000-40,000 SHUThis would have to be the classiest cayenne type pepper you can get.

continuous chilli production most of the year round – well at least in the tropics.
