The Sugar Rush Stripey is a beautiful and unique Capsicum baccatum known for its unique red-and-yellow striped pods. The fruits are crisp, juicy, and sweet, with a pleasant medium heat that builds slowly. It was first discovered as a natural variant of Sugar Rush Peach, later stabilised for its distinctive candy-like colouring. Plants grow tall and productive, with heavy yields late in the season. I find it performs well in both greenhouse and outdoor settings, producing reliably even in cooler spells. Excellent fresh in salads, salsas, or for making bright, fruity sauces.

Scoville (SHU): Around 20,000
Time to Fruit: 100–120 days

Seeds Quality
Every seed we sell is grown at the ChilliChump homestead, so we control the whole process from sowing to harvest. Seeds are handpicked from healthy plants, processed using methods we’ve refined over the years, and germination-tested before they reach you.
Keeping our seed true to type is something we work hard at. The only way to truly isolate a chilli variety, though, is to grow it with no other chilli plant within a quarter of a mile to a mile, and no grower with a collection can do that. So we don’t claim 100% purity. The chance of a stray cross is small. If something grows out differently to what you expected, please get in touch. We’d rather hear about it than not.
You can read what other growers think in our reviews, and the ChilliChump YouTube channel follows these plants through every season, so you can see exactly where your seeds come from.

Only one of the seeds I received did not germinate! I am really impressed with all of the seeds I have received from ChilliChump, very quick delivery and very high germination rates!

Was very excited to receive these. I had 100% germination and then followed all the instructions on chillichumps channel to sow and grow…. I then read a lot of people got barely any fruits or stripes on their fruit (they got their seeds from other sources) my plant is now 5’ tall with tonnes of fruit, so far each and every fruit that’s ripened has their pretty red stripes and lovely peach colour skins… lovely taste without too much heat 10/10

I’m so impressed with these Chillis after buying them here, along with the Moz Piri Piri seeds (Also excellent and another review left). They have been extremely prolific and I had 100% germination. It was so good I ended up giving several plants away to friends and family. The plants I kept grew strongly and the yield of distinctive stripey fruit was absolutely first class. This is a fantastic chilli but the quality of the Chillichump seeds is quite evidently second to none.
