One of our favorites! An earlier version that is smaller but ripens much earlier which is perfect for our northern summers. Southern Exposure Seed Exchange - Rooted in history, A heavy yielder and a favorite in our 2016 pepper taste test. Aji Amarillo peppers are a key ingredient in Peruvian cuisine. This rare “Chinchi” strain bears smaller peppers, about 3 × ½ in., much earlier in the season than the standard Aji Amarillo. Thanks to Chris Watson for providing seedstock to Southern Exposure, SESE introduced this in 2018. Fruity, flavorful, with medium-high heat. Characteristics: Organic, non-GMO, and open-pollinated 3" fruits 59 days for green peppers, longer to ripe toyellow .3 grams of ~40 seeds Instructions - Peppers prefer light, well-drained, moderately fertile soil with pH 6.5-6.8. Use a high phosphorus starter fertilizer when transplanting to give young peppers a good start. Keep nitrogen levels in moderation, as high amounts can reduce yields. Start transplants 6-8 weeks before the planting date. Sow seeds into flat ~4 seeds/inch and then pot up into 2” or larger cells after the first set of true leaves appear. The optimal soil temperature for germination is 85°F. For growing transplants, maintain the temperature at around 75°F during the day and 65°F at night. Harden off plants by slightly reducing the temperature to 60-65°F and reducing water for 2-3 days before transplanting.

Firefly Farm Minipack - 10 Seeds

Southern Exposure Seed Exchange ~ 60 Organic Seeds

⚡ Aji Limon Lightning: Electric Flavor & Striking Heat Experience a bolt of pure, citrusy energy with the Aji Limon Lightning. A refined and high-intensity selection of the traditional Peruvian "Lemon Drop," this variety is named for its electric neon color and its sharp, "striking" heat that hits the palate with immediate clarity. If you’re looking for a pepper that brings both high-voltage flavor and massive yields, the Lightning is your perfect match. 📜 History & Heritage: The Electric Heirloom The Aji Limon Lightning is a specialized selection of the Capsicum baccatum species, originally hailing from the Andean regions of Peru: The "Lightning" Selection: While the standard Aji Limon is a classic, the "Lightning" strain has been carefully selected by heirloom enthusiasts for its earlier ripening window and its intense, uniform yellow color that seems to glow in the garden. Andean Legacy: Like its ancestors, it remains a cornerstone of South American "Aji" culture, prized for its unique botanical profile—white flowers with yellow-green throat markings—and its unmistakable fruity aroma. ✨ Key Features Instant Citrus Zing: This isn't just a spicy pepper; it tastes remarkably like fresh lemon zest and tart fruit. Fast-Striking Heat: It delivers a clean, bright burn that makes its presence known immediately without the heavy, lingering "throat-burn" of other varieties. Prolific "Electric" Yields: The plants are absolute powerhouses, often producing hundreds of 2–3 inch pods that turn from a pale lime to a brilliant, translucent "Lightning Yellow." Rugged Resilience: Known for being more tolerant of fluctuating temperatures than many C. annuum peppers, making it a reliable producer for northern and southern gardeners alike. 🌶️ Flavor & Heat Profile The Aji Limon Lightning is the ultimate "culinary bridge" pepper—hot enough to satisfy spice seekers, but flavorful enough to enhance a dish's natural ingredients. Attribute Description Heat Level 30,000 – 50,000 SHU (Bright & Quick) Species Capsicum baccatum Color Electric Neon Yellow Flavor Concentrated Lemon, Lime Peel, and Crisp Apple Structure Slender, crinkled, and thin-walled 🍴 Culinary Inspiration The "Lightning" pepper is a favorite for those who want to add a gourmet touch to their meals: Lightning Hot Sauce: Blend with onions and garlic to create a naturally bright yellow sauce that pops with acidity and heat. Seafood's Best Friend: Finely slice into fish tacos, shrimp ceviche, or grilled salmon to replace the need for both lemon juice and pepper flakes. Spicy Citrus Salt: Dehydrate the thin-walled pods and grind them with sea salt for a finishing salt that is incredible on popcorn or margarita rims. Pickled "Neon" Rings: Slice into rings and quick-pickle for a bright yellow topping that adds crunch and zing to sandwiches and burgers. 🪴 Growing Information Days to Maturity: 80–90 days (Faster than most baccatum types). Sun Requirements: Full Sun. Plant Habit: Bushy and vigorous; can reach 3 feet tall. Productivity: Highly prolific; harvest often to encourage a continuous "strike" of new fruit. Gardener’s Note: "Aji Limon Lightning is the highlight of our trial gardens every year. The color is so bright it almost looks artificial, and the flavor is so lemony that people don't believe it's just a pepper until they try it!" Add a jolt of flavor to your garden.The Aji Limon Lightning is the perfect variety for the adventurous gardener who demands high yields and gourmet quality. Don't settle for "just heat"—go for the lightning! Order your seeds today.

🍋 Aji Limo Pepper: The Peruvian Citrus Spice Transport your taste buds to the coast of Peru with the Aji Limo (also famously known as the Lemon Drop). This stunning heirloom is a member of the Capsicum baccatum species, prized by world-class chefs for its incredible citrus aroma an d clean, sharp heat. If you are looking for a pepper that offers more than just "burn," the Aji Limo is a gourmet essential. 📜 History & Heritage: The Heart of Ceviche The Aji Limo is a true ancient heirloom with deep cultural roots: Andean Origins: Cultivated for centuries in the northern coastal regions of Peru, this pepper is a cornerstone of South American gastronomy. The Secret to Ceviche: You cannot make an authentic Peruvian Ceviche without Aji Limo. Its unique ability to provide heat while enhancing the "citrus cook" of the lime juice makes it irreplaceable in traditional recipes. A Botanical Gem: As a Capsicum baccatum, it features beautiful white flowers with distinct yellow-green "star" markings, setting it apart from common garden peppers. ✨ Key Features Unrivaled Citrus Flavor: True to its name, this pepper possesses a distinct, zesty lemon-lime flavor with fruity undertones. Luminous Appearance: The fruits mature from green to a vibrant, translucent neon yellow. They grow roughly 2–3 inches long with a slender, crinkled shape. Heavy Producer: These plants are known for being exceptionally prolific. A single plant can produce over 100 peppers in a single season, often becoming heavily laden with "yellow jewels." Clean Heat: It delivers a quick, bright heat that hits the tongue immediately but dissipates faster than the lingering burn of a Habanero. 🌶️ Flavor & Heat Profile The Aji Limo is the perfect middle-ground for spice lovers—hotter than a Jalapeño, but more manageable than a Ghost pepper.

Electric Yellow Hot Sauce: Ferment or blend these peppers to create a naturally bright yellow hot sauce that tastes like "liquid sunshine." Drying & Flakes: Because they are thin-walled, they dry beautifully. Grind them into a yellow chili powder for a citrusy spice rub on chicken or seafood. Summer Salsas: Pair with tropical fruits like mango, pineapple, or kiwi to complement the pepper’s natural citrus notes. 🪴 Growing Information Days to Maturity: 90–100 days (patience is rewarded!). Sun Exposure: Full Sun. Plant Height: 24–36 inches (can benefit from a small stake due to heavy fruit load). Hardiness: Loves heat; keep in a warm, sheltered spot for maximum production. Gardener’s Tip: "The Aji Limo is a 'creeping' producer—it starts slow, but once the heat of summer hits, it explodes with fruit. Harvest frequently to keep the plant producing right up until the first frost." Experience the zest of the Andes.The Aji Limo is more than just a pepper; it’s a culinary adventure. Whether you are a lover of Peruvian cuisine or a gardener looking for the most beautiful yellow pepper in the neighborhood, this heirloom is a must-grow. Order your seeds today!
