Product Description
Costa Rica Orange
C. Frutescens
Approx 100,000-150,000 SHU
We got seeds of this beauty from THSC as a natural variant of the Red Chilli Costa Rica. If you love chillies that stand out in the garden then this is one for you. It has deep dark black/green foliage with the leaves turning darker the more sun it gets. The pods are almost a fluorescent orange which contrasts amazingly with the black leaves. Just a stunner. Size wise the plant grows incredibly compact to around 60-70cms with the pods 2-3cm wide and long. Despite being more an ornamental the flavour is salty and tangy and we think it would make an interesting vibrantly coloured chilli powder.
