Hot Bush Pepper: Indian Firecracker
(Capsicum frutescens)

Capsicum frutescens peppers are much more pungent than the C. annuum species and produce fruits that are erect and usually appear just above the foliage. Peppers include  tabasco, bird peppers, and other chili peppers. Varieties of this species have also been selected for their ornamental properties.

A perennial hot bush pepper from India. High-yielding plants grow up to 1.7m tall. Produces attractive red peppers that are 2.5-5cm long. Plants can live several years if protected from frost. We are not sure what the Scoville rating is for this one but they are very hot!
