    Rocoto Costa Rica Orange Pepper Seeds (Capsicum pubescens) 20 seeds

    This species of pepper is distinguished by its hairy foliage, purple flowers and black-seeded fruits. In addition, the rocoto is a perennial plant that can tolerate frost down to -5 C and can live up to 15 years. Its fruits are orange-yellow or red, measure 6-7 cm in length, have smooth and shiny skin and have a thick and juicy flesh that gives off a very strong flavor. With a heat of around 100,000 scoville.
    It is often used fresh in the preparation of sauces. It is grown at altitudes of over 1,600 m in the Andes, in South America in Peru and Bolivia. Often called locoto, manzano (apple pepper), peròn (pear pepper) or pepper tree.

    Reproducible seeds harvested exclusively in the Pot'à'Jo garden, a 1500m² horticultural and permaculture market garden. Everything is grown with a deep respect for nature and its inhabitants. I have been growing my own seeds for years, from seed to seed.
