Chilli pepper Trinidad Perfume seeds
Despite their ‘Habanero’ appearance the fruits of Chilli Pepper 'Trinidad Perfume' have only a tiny little heat – 50 to 500 SHU which most of us would barely notice. Trinidad Perfume seeds produce highly productive, even prolific plants, and their rounded pale green fruits turn to golden yellow as they ripen. These are compact plants at about 70 cm (27”) high with a spread of 50cm (20”) which give a long season of picking.
When cooked this chilli pepper will release a perfume-scent, its rich fruity flavour is popular in Caribbean dishes. Harvested throughout the summer, the ‘Trinidad Perfume’ can be used to add a mild- citrus taste with smoky undertones to your favourite seasonal recipes.
Where to grow the Trinidad Perfume?
I always warn people against growing chillies out of doors because they are so fragile, but even so, growing them outside is quite possible as long as you accept that the crop you receive will be a fraction of that of an indoor grown plant.
To illustrate that point, I gave a strong Hot Mexican plant to a neighbour who went against my advice by planting it in the garden. OK, it was a relatively sunny position but she didn't take the Derbyshire winds into account so her tally of fruits at the end of the season was 3 whereas I was getting over 100 per plant in my greenhouse.
