Capsicum Chinense (Naga Viper Chilli) is an exceptionally hot chilli variety recognised for its long, irregularly shaped and heavily wrinkled fruits. The fruits mature from green to vivid red, creating a striking display against the plant’s green foliage. It is a distinctive choice for experienced chilli growers and enthusiasts seeking extreme heat.
Best grown in a warm, sunny position, Capsicum Chinense (Naga Viper Chilli) is well suited to vegetable gardens, pots and dedicated chilli collections. The intensely hot fruits can be used sparingly in sauces, marinades, salsas and other dishes where a powerful chilli heat is desired.
