Peppapeach Chilli seeds - 10

​An offshoot of the Sugar Rush Peach that had the desired shape I’ve been after, resembling the famed Peppadew C. Baccatum variety that hails from South Africa. Peppapeach has medium heat with the great Baccatum flavour and has a high yield of peppers.

​Sugar Rush Peach Twisty seeds - 10

One of our original chilli's, this is a very twisted variety of the Sugar Rush Peach.

These are tall plants, growing to 180cm tall by 80cm wide and may need support.
​

The plants have white and green/yellow markings and produce fruits that ripen to a wonderful peach colour - and can be quite large.

The heat level is above average.

Our seeds are mainly open-pollinated, natures way. Occasionally accidental crosses occur. As a new (potentially unstable) crossbreed, there may be variations in the final chilli produced.

 ​Capsicum Flexuosum Chilli seeds - 10

A wild variety from South American who’s range includes Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina which has several accessions within the species. Out of the two, I have grown one has a white flower with yellow/green markings inside and on the back of the petals and the other is similar, but develops a purple colour on the back of the petals that intensifies sometimes when it’s cooler.
 
Along with C. Praetermissum species, this is one of the few available rare wild species outside of the usual Chinense, Annuum, Baccatum, Pubescens and Frustescens known to growers. Many other extremely rare wild types exist and belong to the 26 chromosome family of Capsicums, but Flexuosum is the normal 24 chromosome Capsicum most types are (2n=2x=24).


​C. Flexuosum appears to be one of the world’s most cold-hardy Capsicums species. In Wales my plants sail through the winter in the polytunnel, retaining many of their leaves whilst they drop off other types during the cold months. Wild varieties seem to do best at making it past their first growing year when rooted into the ground in a polytunnel with the soil kept partially dry.

Mini Olive Rocoto Chilli seeds - 10

This very special pepper originates from Rebecca Toubøl in Denmark. It's most likely a mutation of a mini yellow Rocoto which she received as old seeds via a trade-in 2014, but instead of yellow, it retained it's the green colour when ripe and resembles an olive. Just like a wild variety, when fully ripe these peppers can be picked very easily as they just come off the calyx. When fully ripe they change to a slightly different shade of green, just like it's the namesake.


Ripe, it tastes like a spicy kiwi, overripe like a spicy mango. The first-ever Rocoto to stay green when ripe, these juicy peppers are an absolute treasure for making sauces or used as a topping on food.

Long Mini Olive Rocoto Chilli seeds - 10

This long version of the Mini Olive Rocoto comes from the same seed line and is now stable.

I’m pleased to say this one retains the same great flavour and heat level as the mini olive. Some almost look like green Jalapenos when on the plant, as a friend pointed out.

​Sugar Rush Peach seeds - 10

The first and most popular of the Sugar Rush Peach types.

First developed by Chris Fowler in 2012, it's an excellent tasting variety. It has a super sweet, medium hot, tropical flavour.

It's an early variety of capsicum with high yields of peach coloured chillies.

​
For 2020 and beyond, I have now switched to a longer improved version I've been developing. So all seeds purchased will be the longer ones seen in the photograph.

El Oro Long Spiky seeds - 10

This chilli appears to be a natural mutation which showed up in my plants alongside the normal El Oro De Ecuador C. Baccatum chillies a few years ago. 

​Grown out each year since, they have showed very little variation and have fully kept their form.  These yield well and have good C. Baccatum cold tolerance if grown in a polytunnel.

​Sugar Rush Peach Bell seeds - 10

​This phenotype appeared in my plants a few years ago and I've grown it out so it keeps it's form.  These grow from a pale green and ripen to peach.  Like many of the other Sugar Rush types I develop, these provide a great yield and I was picking pods in the polytunnel right until December.  Great to see some people in 2021 rate this as the best tasting capsicum of the year they grew.

Sweet Moruga Chilli seeds - 10

The origin of this 1st near no heat superhot variation comes from a friend who grew seeds from one of my normal Moruga pod. Incredibly, the pods the plant produced, although a slightly different shape, had all the flavour and aroma of the original, just a tiny trace of heat.
​
Growing this pepper out there seems to be variation with the pod shapes, some resemble a Moruga and others 7 Pot chillies. It tastes so good with its very low heat that it's great for salads and I use them to make a low heat Chinense sauce.

Sugar Rush Peach "stripey" seeds - 10

The Sugar Rush Peach 'stripey' peppers were a mutation that appeared in America from one plant of the normal Sugar Rush Peach plants back in 2017. It's most likely a genetic throwback to the red which the peach mutated from back in 2012.

​The stripes vary in size and much like the C. Annuum variety named Fish, these are passed on to other generations and are not all cloned from one parent plant. Unlike Fish, the SRP stripey pods have the stripes show when it's fully ripe, rather than the unripe stage, which is even better.

Aji Ayuyo 

Capsicum Baccatum, hot
​
Aji Ayuyo is a great Peruvian Baccatum which produces a great yield of excellent looking peppers which ripen from white/purple to red. A very difficult pepper to come by until a few years ago, so decided to offer these for sale as they are a real favourite.

Cherry Bomb

Capsicum Annuum, medium hot
​

This is a version of the classic Annuum which through the selection of larger pods over the years has produced plants which have bigger size and have a more elongated than round shape.

Karinasii

Cardenasii/Rocoto De Seda (CGN 20497 Cardenasii x C.Pubescens)
​

This great little hybrid of a Bolivian wild capsicum and a Rocoto came to me from my friend Karin in the Netherlands. Meant to be Cardenasii, on growing it I found it had crossed to produce a yellow pod chilli that had black seeds and comes right off the calyx when ripe.

I
 have shared these all over the World during the last several years, but only got back to growing them, so thought I’d make them available to all to grow.
​

In the UK, these plants do very well outdoors during the summer months and were a magnet for Bees who seemed to love feeding from the flowers.

Aji Lemon (improved size)

Capsicum Baccatum, hot
​
This is a version of the classic Baccatum which through the selection of larger pods over the years has produced plants which have a chunkier size and also the excellent yield if grown with a decent sized pot or rooted into the ground.

Red Thai

Capsicum Annuum, medium hot
​

This red version of the classic Orange Thai appeared in my plants several years go and seems to be a natural mutation to red which I’ve grown out over the last few years.

Plants grow to a couple of feet in height and produce a great yield and they dry very well.

Antep Aci Dolma Cross​

Capsicum Annuum, medium hot
​

Is another happy accident where the mild heat Turkish Antep Aci Dolma crossed with another unknown Annuum to produce a big sweet pepper like looking chilli which has heat that can be of a similar level to a Jalapeño.

​If given enough root space (big pot or in the ground), they can produce a superb yield.

Malawi Pepper

Capsicum Baccatum, medium hot

This is a very similar capsicum to the famed South African Baccatum which I sourced from Africa many years ago. Plants can grow to 4/5 feet tall and yield an excellent crop.

​As it’s a Baccatum family capsicum, it has better cold resistance than Annuum types, so is easier to overwinter if it can be kept away from damp and above freezing.

Sugar Rush Cream Bell

Capsicum Baccatum, medium hot
​

This is an off phenotype I kept growing of the Sugar Rush Peach Bell. 

People showed interest in this, despite it having similar form to a few other Baccatums, so I have added this to my selection of Welsh developed capsicums.

Bumpy White Habanero


​
This Habanero I named the Bumpy White Hab. came to me from friends in the Philippines several years ago which was meant to look different, but ended up with bumpy skin like a superhot chilli. It's a hot Habanero, not on the level of Nagas and others, but has good heat to it. If grown rooted into the ground or a very big pot, these can yield dozens and dozens of pods from just one single plant in a single grow season.

Longest Frutescens

This chilli is the longest of any C. Frutescens variety I've ever grown, so this I've added as many growers are interested in this great variety. Apparently it came from Iran (hence the name). But there is little information about it unfortunately. Very juicy as Frutescens often can be and plants yield very well if provided with the growing conditions needed.

Moruga

The Moruga was the 2012 World's Hottest capsicum with a high peak of 2.1 million Scoville units, so these beasts are to be treated with maximum respect!

​This amazing cultivar from Trinidad is named after a small town and is perhaps the most consistent of the superhots there is, beating the Reaper with it's average heat levels. These are from the original seed line which I obtained back in 2009, being one of the 1st to grow them in the UK back in 2010.

Venezuelan Tiger 

Happy to stock the Venezuelan Tiger sweet Habanero, which was given to me by a Venezuelan friend who in 2009 brought one back from her mother's farm in Venezuela for me here in Wales.

​These are a low/near no heat 'sweet chinense' type and can yield very well with big pods if grown well (rooted into the ground or a large plant pot).​

​Microcarpum (CAP 215 Baccatum)

 

Microcarpum (CAP 215 Baccatum) is one of the wild forms of C. Baccatum which has good cold resistance as Baccatums often do with great little flowers and small chillies which come off the calyx when fully ripe as most wild species do.

​These can yield 100s of little chillies if grown well which I find dry quite well due to their size and thin flesh.
