Scarlett Non Var

Scarlett Non Var is best treated as the non-variegated green-leaved form that appears within Scarlett's Chilli seed lines, rather than as a separately documented breeder variety with a different origin. Scarlett's Chilli itself is an Australian Capsicum annuum hybrid bred by Graeme Chaplin in Western Australia, described as a Purple Tiger cross with jalapeño-like heat and flavour.

Grower references show that Scarlett's Chilli can throw plain-green plants alongside the usual variegated form, and other grower discussions describe the line as unstable. That makes Scarlett Non Var most consistent with a non-variegated segregant of the Scarlett's Chilli hybrid rather than a separate established cultivar with its own independent breeding history.

The core Scarlett's Chilli line is described as a compact to medium plant, commonly around 45.5 cm to 91.5 cm tall, with a jalapeño-type character and small pods around 2.5 to 3 cm long and about 15 to 20 mm wide. In the non-variegated form, the defining visible difference is the plain green foliage instead of the usual white, purple, and green variegation, while the plant still sits within the same Australian hybrid line.

Live descriptions tied to Scarlett's Chilli also describe the fruit as ripening from green or pale green into red, with a sweet, juicy jalapeño-like flavour and mild to medium heat. Within that context, Scarlett Non Var fits as a green-leaved form of the same line, keeping the edible jalapeño-style character while dropping the variegated foliage trait that made the original Scarlett's Chilli especially ornamental.
