About this pepper

Bulo Bulo is a Capsicum chinense variety originating from Bolivia. The plants are robust and productive, producing abundant pods that mature to a bright red colour. The pods are similar in appearance and flavour profile to habanero-type peppers.

This variety adapts well to container growing and performs reliably in pots. Plants are known for their resilience and can be overwintered successfully, continuing to produce fruit under suitable conditions. They thrive in warm, well-lit environments and are commonly grown in greenhouses or on sunny windowsills.

The flavour is aromatic and fruity, paired with a high heat level typical of Capsicum chinense varieties.
