Erotica Orange

Erotica Orange is an Italian baccatum noted for its wild, sculptural pods and friendly, medium heat. Fruits ripen to a rich orange with whimsical tails and folds, making harvest baskets look like art. Under the playful form is real kitchen value: thin walls that blister fast and a sweet‑citrus aroma classic to baccatum types. Plants are vigorous in warmth and set prolifically in containers or beds with regular feeding. The pods dry quickly for bright, aromatic flakes and add color to pickles and relishes. It’s a conversation‑starter in the garden and on the plate—distinctive without being overwhelmingly hot. Harvest steadily to keep flowers rolling through the heat of summer. If you like peppers that look wild but eat beautifully, Erotica Orange belongs on your grow list.
