The "Pimenta da Neyde" is said to have originated from a spontaneous crossing of a Capsicum Chinense and a Capsicum annum in the garden of the Brazilian gardener Neyde Hidalgo. That's why the variety bears her name. The whole chili plant is violet-coloured and looks very decorative. The chilies already have a black-violet colouring before they are ripe and keep it in the full ripeness. They are very aromatic and have the typical fruitiness of a habanero. They are well-suitable for the production of black chili powder.
They should be placed in a sunny, sheltered place with at least 6 hours of sunlight per day, if not more.
It might be necessary to cut them back slightly and place them in a light place where it is at least 15°C.
Germination temperature is between 22°C and 28°C (germination period: 9-21 days); it is therefore recommended to use a greenhouse and a heating mat.
