Description
Chilli Name: PINK TIGER
Chilli Species: Capsicum Chinense
Chilli Origin: Unknown
Chilli Heat: Mild
Pink Tiger is an ornamental Capsicum chinense variety grown for its striking foliage and unusual fruit colouring. It is valued primarily for visual appeal, combining dark purple leaves with contrasting pale pink pods.
Pods are small, tapered, and slightly pointed, usually produced upright or at slight angles above the foliage. Fruits develop from dark immature tones to creamy pink or pale peach shades when fully ripe. Pod walls are thin, suitable for light culinary use if required.
Flavour is light and slightly fruity with a gentle warmth. Heat is regarded as Mild, offering low pungency that does not dominate. No formally published Scoville Heat Unit figure is available for this variety.
Plants are compact and bushy with deep purple stems and leaves, making them well suited to containers, patios, and ornamental displays. Pink Tiger performs best in warm, bright conditions where foliage colour and fruit contrast are strongest.
The breeder and detailed background of Pink Tiger are not formally documented. It is best recognised as an ornamental chinense selected for foliage colour, fruit contrast, and plant form rather than culinary heat.
Germination temperature 28–30 °C. See our Water and Feed Guides for advise.
Chilli Seeds Qty is 5 per pack unless stated.
