Goatsweed Chilli – Wild Elegance from Venezuela

Hailing from the untamed landscapes of Venezuela, the Goatsweed Chilli (Capsicum annuum) is a wild and prolific variety that brings both visual intrigue and abundant harvests. Its fuzzy, hairy stems add a distinct ornamental appeal, setting it apart from other chilli plants.

The plant produces upward-growing pods measuring 5–7 cm in length, which go through a stunning colour transformation—from green to black, and finally to a vibrant red upon full maturity. This vivid progression creates a striking contrast against the lush foliage.

With its bushy growth and high yield, Goatsweed is best suited for larger garden spaces or big containers. While its heat level ranges from moderate to high, it’s the plant’s aesthetic and vigorous nature that makes it a standout choice for chilli enthusiasts and collectors alike.
