About
Pods follow the classic 7 Pot form, roughly 5–6 cm long, ripening from green to bright red with lightly wrinkled or pimpled skin and walls thicker than many other superhots. Flavor is fruity and floral with a sweet edge before the heat builds and lingers in the throat. Plants stay compact to medium height and produce well in pots.
Backstory
Nick Duran, known as Naga Nick, raised the line in Yatton, North Somerset, United Kingdom around 2014 and named it after one of his daughters. Seed catalogs have offered it as open-pollinated stock since the mid-2010s.
