Species: C. annuum Mature pod color: Red Pod form: Standard tapered Heat: 5,000-30,000 SHU (Medium) Days until harvest: Late 80-90 Plant height: 24 to 30 inches Light: Full sun (6–8+ hrs) Growing temperature: 70-85°F (21-29°C) Planter size: Medium 5–7 gallons (19–26 liters) Found in Namaqualand on the South African west coast and named for it. The foliage runs dark purple to near-black and the pods travel the same road in reverse: they set glossy black and finish a deep red, so a loaded plant carries both colours at once. Moderate to strong heat behind a bold, savoury flavour. Grown as much for how it looks as for what it does to a dish.
