Devils Tongue - Red Chilli Plant in 4" pot

Devil's Tongue - Red

Heat: Very Hot (200,000 SHU)

110 Days. A Capsicum chinense with an unusual origin story — discovered growing unexpectedly among habanero plants on an Amish farm in Pennsylvania. Devil's Tongue Red produces long, tapered pods that ripen from lime green to a deep, vivid red, delivering intense heat alongside the bright citrusy sweetness and slightly tangy undertones characteristic of the chinense family. At 200,000 SHU it sits firmly in habanero territory, making it excellent for hot sauces, salsas, and drying.

Compact but wide-spreading plants reach 50 cm tall and 80 cm across, performing well in large containers or open garden beds in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil.

Harvest: Pick when pods are fully red for peak flavour and heat.
Flavour: Habanero citrus sweetness with slightly tangy undertones and intense heat.
