The Thai Dragon Chilli is a popular and fiery variety of chilli originating from Thailand. These seeds yield plants that produce an abundance of slender, vibrant red chillies known for their intense heat and distinctive flavour.

The chillies are long and narrow, resembling small cayenne peppers, and they mature to a bright red colour when fully ripened. The plants grow to a medium size, forming compact bushes with dark green foliage. They are well-suited for both garden beds and containers, making them a versatile choice for various gardening spaces.

With a Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) rating ranging from 50,000 to 120,000, the Thai Dragon chilli peppers are renowned for their fiery spiciness. The heat level provides a notable kick that can add a thrilling intensity to dishes.

  • Genus: Capsicum Annuum
  • Scoville Rating (SHU): Ranges from 50,000 to 120,000 SHU, delivering a potent, hot flavour perfect for hot sauces, curries, stir-fries, and pickled delicacies.

  • Pod Size: The chillies grow to about 2-3 inches in length, with a slender, tapered shape that makes them easy to incorporate into dishes or use for garnishing.
