30,000–50,000 SHU
Purple UFO is a noticeably hot pepper , but it remains far from the extreme varieties. Its great advantage is the combination of relatively serious spiciness and a strongly fruity aroma .
🌱 Sowing and growing
Sowing: January – April
Location: Indoors
Germination temperature: 20–30°C
Planting in a greenhouse: for higher yields
Planting outdoors: around the end of May

In the fall, the plants can be moved to pots and brought indoors. Placed on a bright windowsill, they can continue fruiting after the outdoor season is over.
🍴 Culinary app
The fruity aroma and spiciness of 30,000–50,000 SHU make the variety suitable for:
• Hot sauces and salsas
• Spicy marinades
• Fresh spicy toppings
• Soups and stews
• Pickling
• Drying and preparing hot spices
The unusual shape and purple stage of maturity make the fruits interesting for decorative presentation of dishes .
💡 Tip from Urban Botaniks: Purple UFO can reach 1–1.5 m , so provide a stable support even before the plant is loaded with fruit. If space is limited, we also recommend pruning to shape a more compact plant. For the strongest decorative effect, leave fruits in different stages of maturity at the same time - green, purple and red.
