Maldivian Heart Lemon - (Capsicum chinense) - Seeds
The Maldivian Lemon pepper, a unique off-variant of the Maldivian Heart, originates from the Maldives in the Indian Ocean. This prolific variety produces exceptionally large, habanero-like pods that mature from green to yellow and can turn yellow-orange when overripe. Despite their size—often filling the palm of a hand—the plants are incredibly productive, growing over 5 feet tall and sometimes requiring staking. With a mid-level habanero heat and citrusy, fruity flavor, the Maldivian Lemon pepper is perfect for those seeking a bold yet flavorful chili. Its possible Scotch Bonnet crossbreeding adds to its unique characteristics, making it a standout in any garden.
Heat level: 200,000 - 400,000 SHU – Hot.
