10 Seeds Trinidad Perfume Pepper Capsicum chinense Sweet Mild
Trinidad Perfume Pepper is a Capsicum chinense variety known for its wrinkled, lantern-shaped pods that ripen from green to a warm yellow-orange. It delivers the fruity, aromatic character typical of habanero-type peppers with very little heat, making it a good choice for gardeners who enjoy bold flavor without pungency.
The pods work well fresh in salsas and sauces, and they can be dried or frozen for later use. Plants are compact and bushy, growing well in containers as well as garden beds, and they produce steadily through the warm season when given consistent moisture and full sun.
