Aji Ecuadorian Orange is a beautifully shaped heirloom Capsicum baccatum from Ecuador — oval, 2-inch pods in a vivid orange ripen on rounded, prolific plants that grow 3 feet tall and spread 4 feet wide. Medium heat with a pleasant, fruit-forward character makes this variety a versatile addition to hot sauces, pickling, and fresh use. Thrives equally well in containers, sunny windowsills, conservatories, and greenhouses. 10 seeds per pack.
