Sometimes it’s the littlest things that hold the biggest surprise. This is our Guyanese Wiri Wiri pepper plant that we are currently growing in our garden. Thank you to my aunt for gifting the seed many years ago. Every year we make sure there is room for it in the garden.
Wiri Wiri fruit can grow up to 1/2″ in size. Hot and spicy, similar to Habanero or Scotch Bonnet peppers. The flavour is deliciously distinct with a slight fruitiness to it.
If you’re growing peppers indoors this coming winter season, this might be the right size pepper for you. It can grow in small containers, 24″-30″ tall, and requires little watering. These are slow growing peppers but worth it once they’ve grown to full size.
