Alberto’s Locoto Chilli Seeds – 10 Fresh Seeds
Alberto’s Locoto is a true rocoto pepper (Capsicum pubescens), with “locoto” being the Bolivian and Argentinian name for rocoto. Each plant bears velvety, dark green leaves and produces round, lantern-shaped fruits that ripen from emerald to fiery red. Unlike most peppers, rocotos thrive in cooler temperatures and high altitudes, making them ideal for mountain gardens. Their thick-walled pods deliver robust heat balanced by a fruity, avocado-like undertone. Gardeners prize Alberto’s selection for its reliable yields, ornamental appeal, and the unique, smoky-tangy kick it adds to salsas, stews, and pickles.
