Description
Chilli Name: TEPIN x LEMON DROP
Chilli Species: Capsicum Annuum
Chilli Origin: Unknown
Chilli Heat: Medium
Tepin x lemon Drop is a cultivated hybrid chilli developed to combine compact growth with bright, flavour-forward pods. It is grown for a balance of manageable heat and fruit character rather than extreme pungency.
Pods are small to medium in size, rounded to slightly elongated, and ripen from green to orange when fully mature. Pod walls are relatively thin, making them suitable for fresh use, light drying, and powder production.
Flavour is fruity and clean with noticeable citrus notes. Heat is generally regarded as Medium, delivering a clear chilli warmth without overwhelming intensity. No formally published Scoville Heat Unit figure is available for this variety.
Plants are compact and well suited to container growing. They produce a good number of pods over a long period and perform reliably in greenhouse or sheltered outdoor conditions.
The background and breeder of Tepin x Lemon Drop are not formally documented. It is recognised as a modern hybrid selected for flavour, colour, and ease of growing rather than for historical or regional significance.
Germination temperature 28–30 °C. See our Water and Feed Guides for advise.
Chilli Seeds Qty is 5 per pack unless stated.
