Chile Pequin

Capsicum annuum var. aviculare

The best of both worlds in one plant! Chile Pequin is a beautiful, drought tolerant plant that forms a bushy mound topped with tons of bright red chilies. The chilies are no bigger than 1" but are extremely hot. It can be designed into perennial beds or used in containers as an accent. Like most other chilies this plant loves the heat. Also surprisingly tolerant to salt soils and deer.
