NuMex Centennial

Description

The NuMex Centennial is a stunning chili pepper variety developed by the renowned Chile Pepper Institute at New Mexico State University. It stands out for its vibrant, ornamental appeal and subtle heat, making it a perfect dual-purpose plant for both the home gardener and the culinary enthusiast.

With its dazzling color transitions, NuMex Centennial peppers begin as a green and deep violet and mature through shades of orange and red, providing a striking visual display. The plant itself is compact, making it ideal for container gardening or small spaces, yet it produces a generous amount of peppers throughout the growing season.

These chilis are more than just a visual delight. While they pack a mild-medium heat (around 30,000-50,000 SHU), the flavor is bright and fresh, making it a wonderful addition to salsas, salads, and even as a garnish for a touch of heat. This variety brings a balance of beauty and taste, perfect for chili enthusiasts who appreciate both aesthetics and flavor in their garden.

Each pack contains approximately 8-10 or more seeds per variety.
