This rare heirloom chilli is a stunning ornamental plant as well as a versatile culinary pepper with medium heat and a sweet finish. Chilli 'Buena Mulata' bears slender, 6-7-inch-long fruit which undergoes a remarkable colour transition, starting a beautiful violet hue, morphing to orange-brown and then maturing to red. Mature fruits develop a sweet, cayenne-like flavour and register between 30,000 to 50,000 on the Scoville Scale. A highly productive plant which looks wonderful when packed with pods in their various colour stages. Maximum height: 60cm (24”). Spread: 45cm (18”).
