The flesh of this pepper is quite thick, with a fruity, spicy flavour, that is crisp and very mild, making them delicious roasting peppers, for even the most sensitive pallets. They are perfect for stir-fry's, stuffing with cheeses, pickling, pizza topping, and so much more. It's not a fussy plant to grow either. As long as it gets full sun, enough water, and some fertiliser, it will bear a mass of tasty mild peppers that start ripening in late summer through autumn. It is a perennial, reaching a height of around 1.3m, grows erect, and bushy to 0.7m wide.

The Tabasco pepper is a variety of chilli pepper species Capsicum frutescens. It is best known through its use in Tabasco sauce, followed by peppered vinegar. Like all C. frutescens cultivars, the Tabasco plant has a typical bushy growth, which commercial cultivation makes stronger by trimming the plants. The tapered fruits, around 4 cm long, are initially pale yellowish-green and turn yellow and orange before ripening to bright red. Tabasco's rate from 30,000 to 50,000 on the Scoville scale of heat levels, and are the only variety of chilli pepper whose fruits are "juicy"; i.e., they are not dry on the inside. Unlike most chilli's, Tabasco fruits grow up, rather than hanging down from their stems.

Bird's eye chilli is a chilli pepper of the species Capsicum frutescens L. in the family Solanaceae, commonly found in Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Singapore. It can also be found in India, mainly Kerala, where it is used in traditional dishes of the Kerala cuisine (pronounced in Malayalam as kanthari mulagu). This species (known as kochchi in Sinhalese) is also found in rural areas of Sri Lanka, where it is used as a substitute for green chillies. It is also a main ingredient in kochchi sambal, a salad made using freshly scraped coconut ground with Thai chillies and seasoned with salt and lime juice. The term Bird's eye chilli is also used for the North American Chiltepin pepper, both due to their small round shape and because they're widely spread by birds.

The African Birds eye Chilli, is different to the Thai Birds Eye. Whilst similar in look and texture, the heat is more intense and it is more flavoursome. Some say this is due to the strong African sun. Very easy to grow and very prolific.

Uyababa chilli peppers are similar in appearance to cayenne peppers. The deep red peppers grow to around 8cm long and the fruit is hotter than a cayenne pepper.

The facing heaven pepper (Capsicum annuum var. conoides) is also known as skyward-pointing chili pepper, is a cone-shaped, medium-hot chili pepper with very thin skin, between 3 and 6 centimetres in length, and 1 to 2 centimetres in diameter at the base. Originally from Sichuan province in Southwest China, it owes its name to the fact that it grows with the fruit pointing upwards, rather than downwards as is normal with other pepper plants. Because of its attractive appearance, the dried chili is often added to dishes whole (whereas Sichuan chilies are more likely to be broken up or crushed). When lightly fried in oil it turns radiant red and loses enough of its heat to allow for it to be eaten whole.

A Cayenne type elongated 10cm long hot pepper that that reaches maturity in approximately 90-100 day. Inchanga is named after an area just outside Durban. Similar heat to a cayenne pepper.

The tiny Chile peppers of C. a. var. glabriusculum are red to orange-red, ellipsoidal, and about 0.8 cm (0.31 in) in diameter. Tepin is derived from a Nahuatl word meaning "flea". Tepin peppers, or "birds eye" or simply "bird" peppers (due to their consumption and spread by wild birds), are extremely hot, measuring between 50,000 and 100,000 Scoville Units. In Mexico, the heat of the Chiltepin is called arrebatado ("rapid" or "violent"), because, while the heat is intense, it is not very enduring. This stands in contrast to the Chili Piquin, which is somewhat similar in size and shape to the Chiltepin, but delivers a decidedly different experience. Piquins are not as hot as Chiltepins (only about 30,000-50,000 Scoville Units), but they have a much slower and longer-lasting effect.50 000 to 100 000 Scoville Heat Units.
