Chiltepin Tuscon Chilli Seeds – 10 Fresh Seeds
Chiltepin Tucson is a rare regional form of the wild Chiltepin Pepper (Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum), collected from the sun-baked desert foothills around Tucson, Arizona. This strain is known for its compact, shrub-like growth and its prolific clusters of tiny round pods that ripen to a vivid red. Heat hits fast and clean, with that classic sharp Chiltepin bite, followed by a bright, almost citrus lift.
Hardy, drought-tolerant, and naturally adapted to intense desert conditions, Chiltepin Tucson thrives in pots, greenhouses, and warm UK summers. Perfect for drying, crushing into flakes, or adding authentic wild Southwest heat to salsas and marinades — a brilliant choice for growers who like something truly wild, origins-rich, and a little bit legendary.
