Hot Paper Lantern Chilli Seeds
Hot Paper Lantern chilli seeds. The Hot Paper Lantern (C. Chinense) belongs to the Habanero stable of chillies. A very unique and unusual habanero. The name comes from it's red pointy pendant shaped pods that look like lanterns. This is a medium with an equally unusual plant appearance. Really a very compact and beautiful structure to these plants. leaves are uncharacteristically C. Chinense with leaves that appear slightly fuzzy and more mat as a result - as opposed to the usual waxy appearance of C. Chinense leaves. A good and easy grower in our experience that produces well and if given the chance will produce many flushes in one season. Pods are a pointy pendant shaped and thin skinned and very crunchy when picked young. Pods ripen from a dark green through orange to a bright red. If left to ripen further, the red does intensify. At this stage pods are less crips, but much sweeter in taste. These chillies have a typically sweet red Habanero aroma and flavour and a heat that sits at the upper scale of Habaneros. These is a very hot variety of habanero. Fruity and sweet pods ideal for cooking and sauces. A very striking and productive plant!
