Rocotos are unusual among chillies, with their thick-walled, juicy fruits and characteristic black seeds, making them a fascinating addition to any chilli collection.

Rocoto Marlene produces attractive fruits that mature from green to a rich red, with the plants developing a bushy, productive habit.
