Species: Capsicum baccatum Mature pod color: Peach/pink Pod form: Long/tapered Heat: 5,000 SHU (Mild) Days until harvest: Very Late 90-120 Plant height: 42 to 48 inches Light: Full sun (6–8+ hrs) Growing temperature: 65–85°F (18–29°C) Planter size: 1 gallon minimum, optimally 7–10 gallons (26–38 liters) SKU: PP-AJILILYTEOLINDA-B Bred by Eva Ingelsson in Sweden, who named it after her grandmother, Lilly Teolinda. The parentage is given by seed sellers as Aji Omnicolor crossed with Aji White Fantasy; treat that as the claimed cross rather than a verified one.A vigorous baccatum, roughly 28 to 40 inches tall and heavily productive. The pods are elongated and run about 3 to 5 inches, ripening to a cream skin marbled with deep orange striping, so no two come off the plant looking quite the same. The flavour is sweet and fruity with a floral note behind it, and the heat is gentle enough for people who do not usually eat chillies.What you are getting: a seedling, minimum 8 weeks old and at least 6 inches tall. It is not a finished plant. It will need transplanting into a container, so choose the container accordingly: these will grow in anything from a half gallon up, but the pot determines the yield in many cases, and some varieties do better than others in a small one.If it is going outside: harden it off first. Give it a few hours a day somewhere sheltered and out of direct sun, and build that up over a week or so before it lives outdoors full time. A seedling put straight out is a seedling you can lose.Feeding: do not fertilise for the first two weeks. After that, use a balanced fertiliser.More on this variety, and on growing peppers generally, at wikipepper.org.
