Description:
The Scarlett’s Chilli is quite the eye-catching, breathtaking variety that is definitely worth growing in your garden. We have been hard at work stabilizing this F5 variety so you can reap the benefits. Bred by Graeme Chaplin in Western Australia, this is an easy ornamental plant to maintain with a gorgeous ripening stage.
Scarlett's Chili pepper plants have variegated foilage of purples, whites, and greens covering these 2-3 ft. tall plants, making them a sight to see. Each plant is loaded with scarlet-colored pods and beautiful blossoms…did I mention this plant is gorgeous? The plant will produce pods growing to about 1" long and ripen from dark purple to different shades of violet with dark stripes, to a final state of red with blotchy purple stripes. this is a favorite among chili growers!
Harvest these peppers around 70 days and enjoy the slightly sweet flavor with a mild heat similar to a Jalapeño. It doesn’t just look the part, it tastes as good as it looks! This is a favorite among chili growers!
