CHILLIES - PIMIENTO ARRIBI SAIA / PIMENTO DE CHEIRO CHILI IN SOUTH AFRICA

The name pimenta de cheiro means (roughly) "scented chile", and it is used as much for its taste as for its heat. It is also called "pimenta arriba saia", which refers to the women raising their skirts to fan their faces because of the heat of the food. It is, I believe, C. chinense, and looks very much like habanero.. Pimenta de Cheiro is larger, with even darker green leaves which are smooth rather than crinkled like the others. It is actually quite a handsome plant with its deep green foliage and rich fruit.   10 SEEDS PER PACK.  GROWING GUIDE INCLUDED
