Mustardgum Brain x Ninfadora Dark F5

Mustardgum Brain × Ninfadora Dark F5 pairs the gnarled, brainy pod texture of MGB lines with the purple‑leaf, dark‑pod traits of Ninfadora. By F5, the line shows improved consistency, though plants can still segregate for depth of pigment and exact pod shape. Heat is in the very‑hot to super‑hot class with a fruity chinense bouquet; use sparingly in sauces and powders. Dark foliage and calyces create a striking contrast against ripening pods. Full sun brings the best anthocyanin expression in leaves and immature fruit. Provide robust nutrition and a warm site to support heavy late‑season sets. Dehydrate for dramatic, dark‑flecked powders with complex flavor. A connoisseur cross for growers who love pigment and power in one plant.
