Tangerine Dream is a variety of Capsicum annuum bred in the United States as both an edible and ornamental chilli. The plants are compact and bushy, typically growing around 18 to 24 inches tall, making them ideal for containers or colourful borders. They produce small, rocket-shaped fruits around 3 inches long that grow upright and ripen from pale green to a vivid tangerine orange.
The pods are sweet, with virtually no detectable heat, generally considered to fall between 0 and 100 Scoville Heat Units. Their flesh is crisp and medium-thick, making them ideal for fresh eating, stuffing, or as a visual highlight in mixed dishes. Bred through multiple generations for uniformity and performance, Tangerine Dream is known for its ornamental appeal, early maturity, and high yields. It’s a reliable choice for growers seeking mild flavour in a stunning colour.
