The plant is very compact; an adult specimen reaches a height of 20 to 25 cm and a width of 30 cm. It develops branches from the base, and at the top of each branch are clusters of leaves from which flowers and fruit clusters will later emerge. The leaves of the Candlelight Mutant are a few millimeters wide and average 5 cm long. The flowers are white and exhibit all the typical characteristics of Capsicum annuum flowers, except for the shape of the petals, which are thin and long. Most of the fruits are parthenocarpic, meaning they are seedless, small, and irregularly shaped; on average, only one in ten fruits contains seeds. This explains the extreme rarity of this plant, which is considered a collector's item.

Open-pollinated seeds harvested exclusively from the Pot'à'Jo garden, a 1500m² market garden combining horticulture and permaculture. Everything is cultivated there with deep respect for nature and its inhabitants. I have been cultivating my own seeds, from seed to seed, for years.
