The Thai Super Chile (Capsicum annuum) is a commercial F1 hybrid variety classified as a Thai Dragon type. Its compact, bushy plants reach 16-20 inches in height and about 15 inches wide, making it ideal for patios, hanging baskets, and small spaces. The peppers are long, skinny, and tapered, measuring 1.75-3 inches long; they emerge green, transition to orange, and ripen to a vibrant fiery red in upright clusters. Heat levels range consistently from 50,000 to 100,000 Scoville Heat Units, delivering bold, intense pungency with vibrant flavor notes that enhance spicy dishes. This variety is exceptionally productive, often yielding up to 300 peppers per plant, and is noted for heat and drought tolerance once established. It matures in approximately 75 days from transplant. Beyond culinary applications, the colorful upright fruit and attractive foliage serve as an ornamental feature while acting as a natural pest deterrent in mixed plantings. Peppers can be harvested at any stage for varying heat intensity and are versatile fresh, dried, or pickled. It is a favorite in Thai and broader Asian cooking for its authentic heat and bright character.

Developed as a compact F1 hybrid from traditional Thai Dragon peppers to deliver high yields and ease of growth in limited spaces while retaining authentic Thai heat and flavor.
