Growing up to 3ft tall, the Orozco chilli plant is easily recognisable thanks to its deep purple, almost black stems (a bit like a filius blue chilli plant) and dark graceful foliage. The Orozco pods are rather hot but are not part of the superhot collection yet so it is a good chilli to have in store and it freezes rather well so you can be sure not to go into full chilli withdrawal over winter.

Like many other types of chillies, the Orozco chilli peppers go through a myriad of colours from green to purple so deep it looks black, yellow and orange before settling on blood red.
