The listing, Clown Pepper Seeds (10) has ended.
This variety has many names: Balloon, Pimenta Cambuci, Campane, Peri Peri, Ubatuba Cambuci, Aji Flor, Orchid, Bishops Crown and Bishops Hat to name a few!! The plants are quite large growing 3 to 4 ft tall and produce 30 to 50 wrinkled almost flying saucer like 1 ½" wide pods. The flesh of each pod is thin athough crisp to taste and they mature approximately 90-100 days after seedlings have emerged. The body of the pods have some detectable heat, but the wings are sweet and mild. The fruits are three-lobed and very shiny. They start out green and ripen to a beautiful Santa's-hat red. The flavor is really delicious. The lobes are mild, sweet, and fruity, with a subtle citrus note. The closer you come to the seeds, the hotter the pepper gets. If you eat the seeds or the seed chamber, your tongue will definitely be burning.
