Trinidad Perfume Chilli Seeds – 10 Seeds

Species: Capsicum chinense

Description

Trinidad Perfume is a rare and aromatic chinense chilli, prized for its slender, lantern-shaped pods that ripen from green to bright red. Unlike many super-hot varieties, this chilli is valued for its fragrant, fruity aroma and flavour, making it ideal for culinary use and ornamental appeal.

Heat levels are hot, typically estimated at 100,000–300,000 Scoville Heat Units, delivering a sharp, lingering burn with tropical and citrusy undertones. Trinidad Perfume is perfect for sauces, pastes, pickling, or adding aromatic heat to dishes.

Plants are compact, bushy, and productive, producing abundant pods under warm, protected conditions. Best suited for growers seeking a fragrant, super-hot chinense variety.
