Description

Capsicum annuum

Kala Morich, meaning ‘Black Chilli’, is a popular variety among Britain’s Bangladeshi gardeners. Its purple flowers evolve into dark purple (almost black) fruit that ripen to red. The cone-shaped, thin-fleshed fruit are very hot and measure just 8 x 35mm.

Decorated with purple-tinted leaves and stems, the tall, shrub-like plants can be grown in the ground or large pots 7.5 to 15 litres. They are capable of reaching a height of 1.5 meters, and need support to stay upright.

Heat level: very hot (85,000 SHU hot)
