Brazilian starfish is a much sort after variety of chilli and a very unusual variety due to its uniquely shaped peppers. This tall plant has a vine like habit and produces good yields of 2cm (¾in) long by 4½cm (1¾in) wide starfish-shaped peppers that are very pungent. The peppers mature from green to red approximately 90 days after transplanting. The white flowers of this plant are also very attractive with the distinctive Baccatum greenish-yellow markings.[1]
