Capsicum Chinense (Brown Habanero Chilli) is a productive chilli variety prized for its distinctive chocolate-brown fruits, intense heat and rich, fruity flavour. The compact, branching plant produces numerous lantern-shaped chillies that mature from green to deep brown, creating an attractive display against the lush green foliage.
Well suited to warm, sunny positions, pots and edible garden beds, Capsicum Chinense (Brown Habanero Chilli) can provide a generous harvest throughout the warmer growing season. The highly aromatic fruits are ideal for adding intense heat and flavour to hot sauces, salsas, marinades and other spicy dishes.
