Thin-walled hot pepper great for drying and grinding into powder is also good eaten fresh or made into hot sauce. Aji Colorado produces 2-3” long bright red fruit that are hotter than a Jalapeño but not quite as hot as a Cayenne and the heat dissipates quickly. Scoville rating is 4000-6000. Sweet fruity flavor complements the heat. Like many C. baccatum species peppers, Aji Colorado has a unique aromatic character reminiscent of pine or citrus peel. Cold weather tolerant and holds quality late into the season. Excellent, high-yielding short-season adapted variety. Originally from Peru and Bolivia. 75 days from transplant.

Care: Plant 18-24″ apart in rows 24-30″ apart in full sun. Keep soil uniformly moist (but not waterlogged) for best production.
