Description
Chilli Name: LUCIFERS DREAM YELLOW
Chilli Species: Capsicum Chinense
Chilli Origin: Unknown
Chilli Heat: Hot
Lucifers Dream Yellow is a Capsicum chinense variety grown for strong but controlled heat and pronounced chinense flavour. It is cultivated for culinary use where flavour and warmth are preferred over extreme pungency.
Pods are medium-sized, irregular and lightly wrinkled, often tapering towards the tip. Fruits ripen from green to yellow when fully mature. Pod walls are moderately thin, making them suitable for fresh use, sauces, and drying.
Flavour is fruity and aromatic with classic chinense character, followed by a clear, sustained heat. Heat is commonly reported in the 30,000–50,000 SHU range, placing Lucifers Dream Yellow firmly in the Hot category rather than superhot.
Plants are bushy and moderately tall, typically reaching 80–110 cm under good conditions. They require warmth and a reasonably long growing season to develop full flavour and consistent heat, performing best in greenhouses or sheltered outdoor positions.
The detailed breeding background of Lucifers Dream Yellow is not formally documented. It is recognised as a named chinense variety valued for flavour-forward heat rather than extreme intensity.
Germination temperature 28–30 °C. See our Water and Feed Guides for advise.
Chilli Seeds Qty is 5 per pack unless stated.
