🌶️ Zebrange Chilli Seeds – Cultivate 100% Dazzling, Intense Fruity-Heat Striped Sensation!
If you're craving both visual flair and mild-to-moderate heat, Zebrange is your ticket. This exotic Capsicum baccatum cross brings eye-catching stripes and tropical flavor to your garden and kitchen!
🌱 Variety
Developed by Belgian breeder Laurent Minet, Zebrange is a hybrid cross between Aji Fantasy and Christmas Bell (also known as Bishop’s Crown). Its signature feature is the bold, vertical striping—ripe pods boast alternating bands of orange and red, mimicking zebra stripes. This ornamental trait makes Zebrange one of the most visually striking peppers available.
🔬 Species
Zebrange belongs to Capsicum baccatum, a species celebrated for its fruity flavor and heat ranging from mild to moderately hot. Other well-known members include Aji Amarillo and Bishop’s Crown peppers .
🌍 Origin
With roots in Belgium, Zebrange was cultivated to emphasize aesthetic appeal—specifically its zebra-like pods—while preserving baccatum’s flavor and versatility. Since its release, it’s been embraced by ornamental and culinary gardeners across Europe and North America and now available in Sunny South Africa also.
🧬 Hybridizer (if applicable)
This variety is a carefully selected hybrid, not a hybridized GM line. Through controlled cross-pollination and stabilization by Minet and fellow breeders, Zebrange now reliably expresses its hallmarks: dramatic stripes, fruity flavor, and mid-range heat .
🎯 Description
Zebrange plants produce bell-shaped pods around 5–6 cm long that ripen from green to vibrant orange, gradually developing vertical red stripes in stunning contrast—true to its name. The overall sheen and crisp walls elevate visual interest, whether fresh or dried .
Flavor is notably bright and fruity, with mild heat that fluctuates between 5,000–10,000 SHU—similar to a mild jalapeño—yet enriched by tropical berry notes.
🌿 Plant Size
These mid-sized baccatum shrubs grow 50–100 cm tall, albeit height and width vary by climate. In cooler regions, plants tend toward the lower end, while warmer zones can see them reach a meter tall.
🌡️ Pungency
Zebrange offers a Mild to Medium heat level, typically around 5,000–10,000 SHU—enough for flavor without overwhelming. Most of the heat is concentrated in the seeds and placenta, making it easy to fine-tune the spice. In some packs, you may encounter occasional hotter pods, but generally expect mild warmth .
🌱 Grow Difficulty
Rated easy to moderate, Zebrange is suitable for both beginners and seasoned growers. They thrive in full sun and fertile, well-draining soil. While they appreciate warmth, they tolerate temperate conditions quite well. Although occasional support can help, their bushy habit is manageable even in containers .
⏳ Days to Germination
Like most baccatum varieties, seeds typically sprout in 10–30 days, provided soil temperatures are kept between 22–30°C. Consistent warmth helps ensure faster and more uniform germination .
🌾 Days to Harvest After Transplant
Expect to harvest ripe pods approximately 90 days after transplanting. In optimal conditions, you could see fruit as early as 80 days, while cooler or indoor situations may extend maturity to around 100 days .
🍽️ Culinary Uses
Zebrange pepper is highly versatile:
- Fresh: Add bold color and mild heat to salads and salsas
- Stuffed: Thick walls make it ideal for cheesy or meat fillings
- Pickled or preserved: Pattern retains charm, and flavor remains punchy
- Salsas and sauces: Strawberries, mangoes, or citrus flavors pair wonderfully
- Ornamental: Great for hanging ristras or countertop décor—beauty you can eat
