Black Thai Pheno 2

Black Thai Pheno 2 is an eye‑catching Thai‑type annuum with pods that darken to glossy near‑black before finishing red, creating a high‑contrast display on compact plants. Fruits are slender, 4-6 inches long, with thin walls and a bright, lively heat that performs beautifully in stir‑fries and fresh chiles. Plants are productive and forgiving, ideal for containers, and continue to set through summer when harvested frequently. Full sun enhances the deep anthocyanin pigmentation at the immature stage. Harvest across the color range—black stage for snappier heat, red for a touch more sweetness. Pods dry cleanly into dark flakes that keep their dramatic look in spice blends. Stake lightly in windy sites as clusters can weigh down branches late season. For cooks who love Thai heat with a visual twist, Black Thai brings flavor and flair.
