Description

About Chili Pepper ‘Hot Lemon’ (Capsicum baccatum)

‘Hot Lemon’ is a highly productive chili variety with compact growth and stunning golden-yellow fruits. As the peppers mature, they transition from green to bright yellow and develop a sharp heat with a zesty aftertaste reminiscent of lemongrass and citrus peel. Fruits grow 6–10 cm long and have a wrinkled texture that makes them visually striking and easy to identify.

This variety is excellent for salsas, sauces, and savory bakes. It also dries well for long-term storage, giving your spice rack a flavorful citrusy heat boost.

Why It’s Great for Pots & Indoor Gardens

Thanks to its compact size, ‘Hot Lemon’ chili is ideal for pot cultivation on balconies, patios, or even sunny windowsills. In smart indoor gardens or hydroponic systems with proper warmth and lighting, it can produce fruit well into late autumn.

It requires warm temperatures and strong light to thrive—making it a perfect candidate for controlled environments where light levels and nutrients are consistent.
