Thai growing super small

[JoynersHotPeppers]

Yes, they call them ornamental but they are Thai Suns - It was the first plant I grew that was not a Jalapeno or Habanero in 1995.

They do look a bit like a frutescens. Like a tabasco, or a purira.  Bit wider pod, wider bottom, and a blunter tip. As far as I know most of the thai's are Annuum though.

I had a similar plant many years ago. Super tiny peppers with crazy amount of heat. It was labeled as an ornamental too.

Must have missed the ornamental on the label. Or the knock off brand I got it from just omitted it from label

     Aren't all peppers ornamental?

Similar but not the same, the Thai Rooster Spur

I love these smaller varieties. I always keep a mix of Pequin and Thai peppers on the table. The burn hits fast and hard but fades quickly with these varieties making them perfect for any meal that needs a little heat.

Most botanists these days think the Annuum and Frutescens are too closely related to call them seperates names though.
