Trinidad Perfume Chili Peppers

by Mike Hultquist · Sep 20, 2013 · 2 Comments

Scoville Heat Units: 0-500 SHU

The Trinidad Perfume chili pepper is a mild chili pepper with very little to no heat. It is a habanero type and produces pods similar to a typical orange habanero pepper, about 1 to 1.5 inches in length and 1.25 inches wide. The mature from green to a bright yellow color. When cooked, they give off a perfume-like scent, hence the name. In flavor, they have a mild citrus-like taste, similar to a habanero, but with smoky undertones.

    Of all the chilli seeds I'm attempting to grow, this is one I'm particularly keen for success with. Perhaps because I live in an area with a strong Afro-Caribbean culture, perhaps because I'm not the sort who likes likes a scotch bonnet on my cornflakes...
    I should say I live in the NW of England for growing conditions which have been exceptionally hot & dry this year in my South facing garden.
    I put a seed in each small pot of GP compost, moistened the soil by standing in lukewarm water for an hour & then, IMPORTANTLY! let the moisture drain for at least two hours. Importantly because the next step is to cover the pots in clear plastic on a warm, sunny windowsill which, if the soil is too damp, is the perfect environment for mould leading to 'Damping off,' of the seedlings.
    First observation is that a little patience is needed, these were by far the slowest of a range of seeds to germinate.
    That's my progress so far... My next step is putting some of the seedlings outdoors in late Summer England to see how tough they are & keeping some protected on a sunny, South-facing shelf.
    I'd really appreciate any helpful knowledge if anyone has grown these before?

      Darren, good luck with growing these. They really are great peppers with a very nice flavor. Try my "A Guide to Growing Chili Peppers" page for some information that might help, or the general Growing Chili Peppers area. Let me know how the peppers turn out.
