Black Scorpion Tongue Chilli
This is a unique and ultra-rare chilli prized for its distinctive appearance and manageable heat. A key characteristic is the unique striping that develops on the flesh of the chillies during ripening. Strong sunlight is crucial for this trait to emerge.
The plant itself is ornamental, with dark purple leaves (even from a young age) and purple flower petals.
