The Scarlett Variegated (Capsicum annuum) is a spectacular cross between the 'Purple Tiger' and a 'Jalapeño'. Created in Western Australia, it is renowned for its extraordinary ornamental beauty, making it a masterpiece for pots and balconies.
Classified as Medium heat, it ranges between 5,000 and 10,000 SHU, comparable to a standard Jalapeño. The flavor is slightly sweet and juicy, offering a pleasant kick perfect for daily consumption.
Its most striking feature is the variegated foliage, a vibrant mosaic of dark purple, green, and creamy white. The fruits start deep purple, show stunning green, purple, and orange stripes during ripening, and finally turn scarlet red. Excellent for fresh salads, salsas, or stuffed and grilled just like a Jalapeño.
Scarlett Variegated - SHU 10,000. Pack of 10 selected seeds, with identification label for species, origin, and heat level.
