Collection: Capsicum Pubescens

Capsicum pubescens: Pubescens plants have thick, woody stems, notably hairy leaves, and purple flowers, with chunky, apple-like pods that contain distinctive black seeds. The peppers are typically medium to very hot, with thick walls that make them excellent for stuffing and fresh use rather than drying. Originating in highland areas of the Andes, they are best adapted to cooler, montane climates in countries such as Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador, and are still relatively uncommon outside those regions.
