Naga Khorika
Naga Khorika chilli seeds. The Naga Khorika (C. Annuum) is a very hot Annuum variety from Assam, India. We understand that "Khorika" means very thin stick. This cayenne type chilli is an uber producer, producing hundreds of pods on the plant. A delicate plant structure to these, with lots of cayenne like pods that are around 5 - 6cm in length. Pods do take a full season to ripen when pods change from green to orange and finally red. The brilliant red colouring of these pods and the fact that these pods dry really well, would make them suitable for chilli powder. The aroma on these is very rich and peppery. The heat is very hot. We estimate around 100,000 SHU. These pods could be used fresh and also for cooking. A really superb go to caynne variety with some proper heat! Great if you are looking for a good producer.

* The container sizes above are sugested sizes that are reasonable and accessible for most growers (taking price, space, ecological/environmental impact into consideration). Not everyone can look at growing in huge containers. If you can justify growing in larger containers - there are no limitations on container sizes. You may however, rather look at growing in soil as an option in these instances. Using large amounts of potting medium will come with ecological/environmental impact, which you may wish to take into consideration.
