🌩️ Tiger Thunder - The striped lightning from the chili world.

The Tiger Thunder is a striking and rare cross between the Purple Tiger and the Thunder Mountain Longhorn, developed by Jes Christensen. This unique Capsicum annuum combines the graceful variegated leaves of the Purple Tiger with the distinctive, elongated fruit of the Longhorn - a real eye-catcher in any chili collection.

The compact plant displays beautiful purple and cream leaf markings, with fruits turning from dark green to purple, orange and finally intense red. The peppers are long and slightly curled, often with subtle stripes or shading, making them interesting both decoratively and culinarily.

The taste is fresh, fruity and medium hot, ideal for adding color and spice to dishes.
