Sweet Moruga Chilli Seeds – 10 Seeds

Species: Capsicum chinense

Description

Sweet Moruga is a rare and visually striking chinense variety, producing wrinkled, lantern-shaped pods that ripen from green to bright red. Unlike many super-hot Moruga types, this variety is known for its exceptional sweetness and fruity flavour while still delivering substantial heat.

Heat levels are very hot, typically estimated at 100,000–350,000 Scoville Heat Units, offering a strong but balanced burn with tropical, fruity undertones. Sweet Moruga is ideal for hot sauces, pastes, salsas, or adding colour and flavour to culinary dishes.

Plants are compact, bushy, and productive, making them suitable for greenhouse cultivation, containers, or sunny garden beds. This variety is best suited for growers looking for heat combined with sweet, aromatic flavour.
