AKA Piri-Piri and Pili-Pili, which is Swahili for "pepper". Capsicum frutescens brought by Portuguese to their African colonies. My Ethiopian neighbor recognized this straight away. Nando's Chicken hooked me on this pepper, which makes for a great dried powder for meat rubs and fried egg toppings.
Two-foot tall plants bear many upright 1" fruit which continue to produce as mature red fruit are harvested. Best in full sun. Seed on offer produced Summer 2024.
