Rocoto Manzano - Red chilli Seeds (10 seeds)

Rocoto Manzano - Red

Heat: Hot (40,000 SHU)

100 Days. The hardiest of all chilli peppers, this Capsicum pubescens from Bolivia and Peru produces apple-shaped red pods 5–7 cm across with the distinctive black seeds characteristic of the pubescens species. An extraordinary long-lived perennial capable of growing for 10 or more years and reaching up to 5 metres in ideal conditions, producing many hundreds of juicy, sweet, richly flavoured pods over its lifetime.

One of the most cold-tolerant chillies available, performing well in cooler climates while still benefiting from shelter from strong winds and heavy frost. Grow in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil.

Harvest: Pick when pods are fully red for peak sweetness and heat.
Flavour: Very juicy and sweet with great flavour and solid heat.
