Lombok
C. Annuum
Approx. 60,000 SHU
An interesting and rare one from Indonesia this chilli pepper is a medium hot good all rounder. It’s nice and sweet and goes lovely and soft when ripe meaning it melts down well in cooking. It is a great early producer that keeps pumping out fruit even through the colder months.

Lucifer’s Dream Yellow
C. Annuum
20,000 – 30,000 SHUI wonder if Lucifer was dreaming to himself one day, “I wish this chilli came in another color.” …….well it does! Lucifer’s Dream Yellow! It’s very versatile. You can stir fry it, put it in a garden salad or its big enough to be stuffed. It has great flavor and is not searing hot so the kids may well have a try of it too! The bush is compact and is a prolific producer. It is still very hard to get and worth growing!

MA Wartryx
C. Chinense
1,000.000 – 1,200.000 SHUThe Wartryx, OMG THE WARTRYX! We feel as though the MA Wartryx should have its own drum roll. This chilli already has legendary status on several planets! Grown by Matthew Arthur, it is apparently a cross of 5 different chillies and a bit of a freak of nature! A crunchy, fruity and super hot pod as well as a tiny bit floral with an all over mouth burn. You will not forget this experience in a hurry! This one is still very hard to get so get it while you can!

Malawi Piquante(Peppadew)
C. Baccatum
1,000 – 1,500 SHUWe are well pleased with this little beauty know as the peppadew in culinary circles. Technically ‘Peppadew’ is the trademarked brand name of sweet piquanté peppers originating in the Limpopo province of South Africa. It’s a low heat medium thick fleshed pepper that is very popular for pickling and stuffing. The flavour of the Peppadew fruit is quite sweet and it has a crunchy texture when eaten raw. It’s cute, its tasty and won’t kill you with heat – even the kids will love them. The Peppadew seems to do well in colder temperatures and when it gets going it produces a mega amount of fruit.

Malaysian Explosive Ember
C.Annuum
2,000-3,000 SHUThis version of the ornamental explosive ember is quite a bit different to the original variety most people know of. We got this variety from a friend and fell in love with it. It seems to be more compact and dainty than the original explosive ember ornamental chilli plant. The pods are smaller too, having more of a vibrant yet pastel colour to them. It’s super productive and when the pods get going it just lights up the garden like no other. Totally easy to grow and is low maintenance as well. This one should be on your short list for an ornamental type chilli that actually tastes pretty good as it’s not too seedy. Size wise the plant grows about 20cm tall x 20cm wide – perfect for the patio.

Mata Frade
C. Chinense
Approx 100.000 – 200,000 SHUA semi-wild, beautiful compact chilli pepper plant from Brazil. The small, red-orange berries have quite a thin flesh and moderate heat. We agree with Nigel Carter’s Pod review that they are very sweet with a pleasant grassy green fresh flavour. They have more of a peppercorn burn which peeks quickly and mellows out to an interesting black peppery after taste. Absolutely great looking chilli plant that producing masses of fruit. Very easy to grow/maintain and would make a stunning bonsai we think.

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.
