The Blue Christmas chilli plant is a beautiful ornamental chilli that grows to about 50 cm in a pot and is one of the most beautiful chilli varieties. The stems and leaves are dark purple and the fruits ripen from a pastel pink, bright purple, fluorescent orange and then red. The chillis have a salty sweet flavour. Great for pots.
The Scoville heat unit for this variety is : 20 000 to 40 000 SHU
Important to Note.
Chilli peppers can be tricky to germinate and especially so with the rarer super hot varieties patience is needed as they can take up to 40 days to germinate in ideal conditions. We also recommend that a heat pad is used when germinating chillies of the Capsicum chinense species. All of our chillis are grown in isolation to avoid cross pollination. As chillis are rampant cross pollinators it is not uncommon for variances to appear in the fruit as chillis can cross pollinate with fruit from plants a few houses or kilometres away. The only way to ensure with 100% certainty that cross pollination does not occur is to use pollination bags on each flower when the plant starts to bud and before the flowers open.
