🌟 Blondie Baccatum Chilli Seeds – Grow Crisp, Mild Citrus-Peach Perfection with Scandinavian Flair!

Are you looking to grow an exceptional chili that combines beauty, versatility, and a playful kick of heat? Our Blondie Baccatum seeds offer that unique experience. This elegant Capsicum baccatum variety, originally cultivated in Scandinavia, produces crisp, creamy-hued pods with a refreshing citrus-pineapple flavor — perfect for both ornamental gardens and fresh kitchen creations.


🌱 Variety

Blondie, also known as Aji Blondie, is a cherished Capsicum baccatum cultivar developed by Scandinavian growers. Its standout feature is pods that mature from pale green to creamy white with a subtle purple flush — a dramatic visual shift that complements its delightful flavor.


🔬 Species

This chili belongs to Capsicum baccatum, a species praised for mild-heat, fruity peppers like Aji Amarillo and Bishop’s Crown. Known for distinctive fruity aromas and reliable garden performance, baccatum peppers bring something unique to the chilli family .


🌍 Origin

Blondie is a Scandinavian-adapted baccatum variety. It was bred to perform well in cooler Nordic climates, producing abundant harvests even under shorter growing seasons. In fact, tastings in Denmark described it as crisp, juicy, and full of fresh citrus punch — a testament to its northern heritage .


🧬 Hybridizer (if applicable)

Though developed by Scandinavian breeders, Blondie is an open-pollinated variety rather than a modern hybrid. It has been maintained for stable traits like pale color transitions, mild heat, and strong flavor — perfect for home gardeners seeking consistent results.


🎯 Description

Pods emerge pale green and ripen to creamy ivory with a soft purple blush. Each pepper measures about 4–7 cm (1.5–2.7 in) in length, displaying crisp, waxy skin and a slender, tapered shape. When bitten, they release a juicy burst of citrus‑pineapple freshness, followed by a clean, energizing zing.


🌿 Plant Size

Blondie plants grow into 75–100 cm (2.5–3 ft) tall and bushy shrubs. They produce abundant pods on sturdy branches — attractive in any garden or container — and thrive even with moderate daylight, making them ideal for temperate climates .


🌡️ Pungency

This pepper registers as Mild, typically around 2,500–5,000 SHU, similar to bell peppers with a slight peppery finish — enough to add interest without overwhelming heat.


🌱 Grow Difficulty

Blondie is rated easy, ideal for beginner and busy gardeners. It prefers:

  • Moderate heat (20–28 °C / 68–82 °F)
  • Full to partial sun exposure
  • Well-drained, fertile soil
  • Consistent moisture without overwatering

⏳ Days to Germination

Seeds typically sprout in 7–14 days under warm, moist conditions. Use a heat mat or warm windowsill to speed things up at the start of spring.


🌾 Days to Harvest After Transplant

Blondie flowers in 60–75 days, with the first tender pods ready to harvest shortly after flowering ends. For larger peppers, wait 75–90 days, depending on conditions and sunlight .


🍽️ Culinary Uses

Blondie peppers excel when used fresh or lightly cooked:

  • Sliced raw in salads or salsas — their crisp texture and citrus zing add brightness
  • Pickled — preserve pods in vinegar for spicy-tangy accents on sandwiches
  • Grilled or roasted — gently char for smoky-sweet notes in tacos or seafood dishes
  • Garnished on pizzas or fish tacos — their mild heat enhances flavor without overwhelming
  • Dehydrated or powdered — spice blends benefit from their delicate fruitiness
