Naga Smooky Rainbow Chilli Test

Naga Smooky Rainbow a chinense variety that was created by Drax Diego. A cross between the Black Naga and the Pink Tiger. This new variety is quite remarkable with dark purple stems, purple flowers and dark green leaves, got the seeds from our mate Justin at white hot peppers

The plant grows well in a pot to about 70 cm in height and spreads out just as wide, A real eye catching plant when it is full of purple flowers and pods. The pods are around 5cm ( 2 inch) in length, the colour change of the peppers goes from dark purple to a dark red with black tinge as well, they are a beautiful looking plant

With a cross it usually takes 7 generation to be stable, so it is not completely stable yet and you can expect some pod variation. However, it is such an stunning variety, so definitely one to grow.

What’s it Like?
How Hot is It?

Thin walled, initially get a very sweet flavour with a chinense tinge, not the naga bitterness, if you crossed a naga with a delicious apple then that’s sort of what I get, the others no as heat hit pretty quick but they commented on the sweetness

Heat, it was supposed to be mild but its not. Heat just hit in the back of the throat and was up there around upper mid heat, instantly moved forward without noticing the move and then the whole mouth had a decent glow. Hotter than a hab but not hotter than a naga.

All in all Naga Smooky Rainbow is an amazing looking chilli and a great producer of these tasty chilli peppers. Heat wise we very told it’s fairly mild, but not ours. It was hot, between habanero and ghost pepper heat, so definitely a great choice for any dish requiring some heat.
