Description
Chilli Name: FLUORESCENT SCARLET
Chilli Species: Capsicum Annuum
Chilli Origin: Unknown
Chilli Heat: Mild
Fluorescent Scarlet is an ornamental Capsicum annuum variety grown primarily for its vivid fruit colour and compact growth habit. It is valued for decorative displays in containers, borders, and indoor or sheltered growing spaces.
Pods are small, upright, and conical, forming densely above the foliage. Fruits ripen from green to a bright scarlet red, creating a strong visual contrast that gives the variety its name. Pod walls are thin and suitable for light culinary use if required.
Flavour is neutral with a gentle warmth. Heat is regarded as Mild, providing low pungency and making the fruits edible without overwhelming heat. No formally published Scoville Heat Unit figure is available for this variety.
Plants are compact and bushy, typically remaining under 40–50 cm in height. Fluorescent Scarlet performs well in pots and window boxes and is commonly grown for ornamental effect rather than for yield or culinary intensity.
The breeder and detailed background of Fluorescent Scarlet are not formally documented. It is best recognised as an ornamental chilli selected for colour intensity and plant form rather than regional or historical significance.
Germination temperature 28–30 °C. See our Water and Feed Guides for advise.
Chilli Seeds Qty is 5 per pack unless stated.
