Open pollinated. A beautiful dark foliage pepper plant that is very prolific and productive throughout the entire season, each plant produces hundreds of pods over the course of the season. The flavor is amazing, crisp thin walled beautiful pods. Appearance: This hybrid pepper inherits a mix of traits from both the Cheiro Roxa and the Scarlet Lantern exhibiting a spectrum of colors ranging from deep purples to vibrant peaches, possibly with mottling or streaks that combine these colors, creating a visually striking pepper.Heat Level: Given that the Cheiro Roxa measures between 60,000 to 80,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), placing it in the category of extra-hot peppers, and considering the Scarlet Lantern's lineage might suggest a habanero-like heat profile (habaneros typically range from 100,000 to 350,000 SHU), this hybrid might lean towards the hotter side, potentially offering a complex heat experience that builds over time.Flavor: The flavor profile could be expected to be rich and complex, combining the fruity, slightly sweet taste of the Cheiro Roxa with potentially the tropical or citrus notes often found in habanero relatives like the Scarlet Lantern. This results in a pepper that starts with a sweet or fruity essence before unleashing its heat, providing a multifaceted taste experience.Shape and Size: The Cheiro Roxa is noted for its squat shape with a somewhat unique pointed end, whereas the Scarlet Lantern might suggest a more elongated, lantern-like shape. The hybrid therefore displays a shape that's a compromise between the two, leaning towards an elongated lantern style pods, as shown in photos.Culinary Use: Given its heat and flavor, this pepper could be excellent for those who enjoy crafting hot sauces, salsas, or any dish where both heat and flavor are desired. Its unique coloration could also make it a hit in culinary presentations where aesthetics matter.Garden Interest: For pepper enthusiasts or gardeners, the Cheiro Roxa X Scarlet Lantern would not only be a conversation piece due to its unusual coloration but also due to its lineage, appealing to those who appreciate both ornamental and culinary peppers. This description paints a picture of a pepper that's not just about heat or flavor but also about visual appeal, combining the best traits of its parents into what could be described as an artisanal pepper for both the garden and the kitchen.All of the plants that we grow and harvest from are hand grown from seed every year.
