Pepper ‘Bolivian Rainbow’

$4.75

A stunningly beautiful plant-grown for centuries in Bolivia (Central South America) with 1″ cone shaped peppers growing upright on the plant so they are very visible.

Starting out a brilliant purple, turning yellow to orange to red, with all stages of the pepper present on the plant at once, making it a bright and colourful addition to your garden, pots or arrangements.

They grow very well in containers and indoors as well, and as long as direct light can be supplied, you can enjoy these chilies for much of the year.

approx 25 seeds

Description

Heat level in these Christmas-light-like chilies (10,000 to 30,000 Scoville heat units) is similar to a serrano chili, that brings excellent spiciness and colour to salsas and sauces.  About 12x hotter than a jalapeno.

They pack a punch and bring a lot of colour to a dish, but in terms of flavor, these are not some of the more complex chilies you’ll find so more of an ornamental.

Hot peppers can take a bit longer to get going than sweet peppers. Start seeds indoors 8-10 wks before last frost, then harden off, plant out once soil is warm, full sun.\

Seeded on heat mat germination in approx 1 week here.
