Species: C. annuum Mature pod color: Red Pod form: Round/tomato/cherry/marbles Heat: 1,000-8,000 SHU (Medium) Days until harvest: Mid 70-80 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) Not a colour sport but a genuine mutant. The FILIFORM gene turns every leaf into a thread a couple of millimetres wide and a couple of inches long, and does the same to the flower petals, so the whole plant looks like a green sea anemone. Found by Rauno, known as Bluesman, in Finland around 2009, from Candlelight Red. It stays tiny, eight to ten inches tall and about a foot across, and carries inch-long pods that ripen green to red. The mutation can leave the smallest pods seedless.
