Capsicum frutescens

Capsicum frutescens includes compact, upright-fruited types like Tabasco and Piquín—peppers prized for their tangy heat, prolific yields, and exceptional sauce-making flavor. These varieties are garden-friendly, often early to set fruit, and serve both culinary and ornamental purposes. Ideal for growers seeking dependable, small-fruited peppers with bright, acidic heat.
