Description
Chilli Name: TINY SAMOA
Chilli Species: Annuum
Chilli Origin: Samoa
Chilli Heat: Very Hot
The Tiny Samoa is a small-fruited chilli variety originating from Samoa, noted for its compact growth and ornamental appeal. It is grown both for decorative purposes and culinary use, particularly where small, upright chillies are desired.
Pods are very small, slender, and typically grow upright on the plant. They mature from green to bright red and are produced in clusters, creating a visually striking display. The fruits have thin walls, making them suitable for drying as well as fresh use.
Flavour is sharp and pungent with a noticeable heat, placing it in the Hot category. While precise Scoville Heat Unit data is not documented, it is recognised as a distinctly hot small chilli used in traditional cooking.
Plants are compact and bushy, producing a high number of upright pods over the growing season. Their size and productivity make them well suited to container growing and ornamental displays as well as practical harvest.
This variety is associated with Pacific island cultivation, where small, hot chillies are commonly used in local dishes. Its ornamental qualities and productivity have led to its wider distribution through seed suppliers.
Germination temperature 28–30 °C. See our Water and Feed Guides for advise.
Chilli Seeds Qty is 5 per pack unless stated.
