Overview
Criolla Sella is a Bolivian hot pepper with distinctive pods that are cylindrical near the stem and taper to a point, ripening from green to yellow. Plants reach 16 to 24 inches. It needs a long season, about 90 days from transplant, so start early indoors and give it a warm, sunny spot. The yellow pods are fruity in the way of many South American chiles and go well in salsas and hot sauce.
