Description
Chilli Name: PONKY JANE RED
Chilli Species: Capsicum Annuum
Chilli Origin: Unknown
Chilli Heat: Mild
Ponky Jane Red is an ornamental Capsicum annuum variety grown primarily for its colourful fruit display and compact growth habit. It is well suited to containers, patios, and decorative planting where visual impact is the main focus.
Pods are small, upright, and conical, produced in clusters above the foliage. Fruits ripen from green to bright red when fully mature, creating a strong contrast against the plant’s leaves. 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 that does not overwhelm. No formally published Scoville Heat Unit figure is available for this variety.
Plants are compact and bushy, generally remaining under 40–50 cm in height. Ponky Jane Red performs well in pots, window boxes, and sheltered growing positions, maintaining a tidy shape and reliable fruit set.
The breeder and detailed background of Ponky Jane Red are not formally documented. It is best recognised as an ornamental chilli selected for plant form and fruit colour rather than culinary intensity or regional heritage.
Germination temperature 28–30 °C. See our Water and Feed Guides for advise.
Chilli Seeds Qty is 5 per pack unless stated.
