Originating from the lush southern regions of Brazil, the Capiscum Flexuosum Cold Hardy Pepper is more than just a pepper plant; it’s a wild pepper variety that redefines expectations.
Exceptionally cold hardy, it can sometimes survive temperatures as low as 15°F or lower, if planted directly in the ground and treated as a perennial, outperforming many other pepper species in cold resilience.
The seeds for this variety are black and incredibly tiny.
