I received Peruvian Collnew seeds from a friend, but I didn't find anything about this pepper on Internet.
It's a Capsicum Annuum, and it ripe from green to orange. The pods are hot, crisp and flavoury.

Why grow it?:
Peruvian Collnew chilies are tasty, but also with a strange, crinkled shape. The plant can be grow as an ornamental chili.

Memo:
The plant is so prolific that I freeze many Peruvian Collnew pods, cut into slices. They can also be dried.

You can use Hot Lemon pepper instead of Peruvian Collnew, they're similar in piquancy and flavour.
