Lemon Drop Chilli Pepper sometimes known as Aji Lemon or Hot Lemon is a Aji type pepper with vivid yellow shiny wrinkled pods. Lemon Drop Chilli Seed pods are about 7cm long by 1-2cm and have a lovely citrusy flavour with a hot Scoville heat rating of between 30,000 - 50,000 SHU's.

Lemon Drop is a Capsicum baccatum which is a PERENNIAL growing to 2m by 1m. The C. baccatum species has its origins in ancient Peru and across the Andean region of South America. It is typically associated with Peruvian cuisine, and is considered part of its condiment trinity together with red onion and cilantro. Chilli pepper varieties in the C. baccatum species have white or cream coloured flowers, and typically have a green or gold corolla. The flowers are either insect or self-pollinated. The fruit pods of the baccatum species have been cultivated into a wide variety of shapes and sizes, unlike other capsicum species, which tend to have a characteristic shape. The pods typically hang down, unlike a Capsicum frutescens plant, and can have a citrus or fruity flavour. C. baccatum plants tend to take longer to ripen than many others. It is not uncommon for fruits to begin ripening 120 days or more after transplanting.
Most Capsicum baccatum species peppers are typically crunchy, sweet, vegetal, sometimes bitter, and have a medium heat level. 

A productive pepper plant that reaches between 70-90cm tall, it can be a little gangly so will benefit from staking once the pods begin to form as the plant becomes top heavy with chillies. Lemon Drop originates from Peru where it is still ever popular and is great used fresh, dried or frozen - so a versatile little tasty pepper with a bit of heat.
