Capsicum Annuum 'Bulgarian Carrot'

 

Hot pepper 'Bulgarian Carrot'

A small upright shrub with glossy green leaves of varying sizes depending on the variety. Chillies tend to be long, narrow, tapering fruit. The single flowers are an off-white (sometimes purplish) color while the stem is densely branched and up to 24ins tall. Hot Pepper 'Bulgarian Carrot' bears conical fruit that start green (with a milder taste) and turn to a yellow-orange, with a fiery taste. In temperate climates this variety can be grown in the greenhouse for an earlier crop of larger sized fruit, or outdoors for a later crop of small-sized fruit.
