Spice up your garden and kitchen with Aji Colorado Seeds, an heirloom Capsicum baccatum variety that delivers a stunning display of color and a perfect balance of heat and sweetness. These fast-growing plants produce an abundance of 3-5” pendant-shaped pods that mature from green to a brilliant orangish-red, making them as ornamental as they are delicious.

Why Choose Aji Colorado Seeds?

Exceptional Flavor & Heat: With a Scoville rating of 20,000-30,000, these peppers pack a very hot punch that dissipates quickly, leaving behind a sweet, fruity flavor. Their thin walls make them ideal for drying or using fresh in sauces, salsas, and traditional Peruvian dishes like the famous Aji Colorado sauce; a vibrant Peruvian condiment made by blending rehydrated red Aji Colorado chile peppers with garlic, oil, vinegar, and sometimes onions.

Prolific & Ornamental: Standing 24-30” tall, these plants are loaded with beautiful flowers and a heavy crop of vibrant peppers. A true garden standout that may require staking due to its bountiful yield.

Growing Your Aji Colorado Peppers

Easy to Cultivate: Start your Aji Colorado Seeds indoors 8 weeks before the last frost. Plant in sterile media, cover 1/4” deep, and provide 85°F bottom heat and bright light. Seeds typically germinate in 14-28 days. Transplant seedlings once they develop 6 true leaves, spacing them 30” apart in rich soil or large 5-gallon containers.

Harvest & Enjoy: Pick your peppers when they turn a vibrant red. Whether dried, fresh, or turned into sauce, their aromatic flavor will elevate any dish.

GMO-Free Guarantee: All our seeds are non-GMO, ensuring you grow natural, healthy peppers.
