Brazilian Starfish Orange Hot Pepper Seeds

The Brazilian Starfish Orange Hot Pepper is a visually stunning and flavorful chili variety that captures attention with its unique star-shaped appearance. The vibrant orange color adds a beautiful pop to any garden, making it just as prized for its appearance as it is for its bold flavor. This pepper combines a medium heat with a fruity, slightly tangy flavor, making it perfect for salsas, sauces, and pickling.

With a heat level of 10,000 to 20,000 Scoville heat units, the Brazilian Starfish Orange delivers a solid, manageable heat that adds a flavorful kick without overwhelming the palate. Its citrusy and mildly sweet flavor profile makes it an excellent choice for dishes that benefit from both heat and flavor.

The peppers grow to about 2 to 3 inches long and feature a star-like shape with five lobes. They begin green and ripen to a bright orange, creating a visually appealing display on the plant. The bushy, compact plant reaches around 2 to 3 feet tall, making it ideal for container gardening or small garden spaces.

Brazilian Starfish Orange plants are prolific producers, yielding a good number of peppers throughout the growing season. The time from flowering to fruit ripening is about 90 to 100 days, and the plant thrives in warm, sunny environments.
