What makes it special?
7Pot Bubblegum Yellow is a superhot rarity with a detail that makes it instantly recognisable: on ripe fruit, the yellow colouring can extend into the calyx and stem. This so-called "bleeding calyx" effect also makes the variety visually extraordinary.
The yellow, heavily wrinkled fruit brings a fruity aroma alongside its massive heat. We clearly recommend this variety for experienced chilli fans – and for anyone growing who's after unusual fruit traits, not just heat.
Flavour & Use
Behind the extreme heat, 7Pot Bubblegum Yellow shows a fruity, lightly sweet aroma. Depending on the line and growing conditions, the variety is usually stated at around 850,000 to 1,000,000 Scoville.
In the kitchen, the tiniest amounts are enough for very hot sauces, ferments, powder or spice blends.
Fruit & Plant
The fruit is irregular to lantern-shaped, heavily wrinkled and usually around 4–5 cm. It ripens from green to bright yellow. Particularly striking is that on typical specimens, the calyx can also turn yellow.
The plant belongs to Capsicum chinense, grows bushy and reaches around 60–110 cm depending on position. It needs plenty of warmth and a long season to ripen fully.
Growing & Care
We recommend a full-sun, very warm and sheltered spot. A greenhouse or polytunnel is especially suitable for this late-ripening superhot variety.
In a pot, at least 8 litres makes sense, ideally 10 litres; if you have enough space, we recommend 15–20 litres. The substrate should be nutrient-rich and well-draining. Water evenly, avoid waterlogging, and feed regularly with a suitable tomato or vegetable fertiliser during growth and fruiting.
The plant is not frost-hardy but can be overwintered frost-free.

7Pot Bubblegum Yellow – a yellow superhot rarity with bleeding calyx
The 7Pot Bubblegum Yellow chilli plant is a variety for anyone who wants more than maximum heat from a superhot. Its most striking feature is the so-called bleeding calyx effect: on typical ripe fruit, the yellow colour can extend beyond the fruit body into the calyx and partly the stem. It's exactly this detail that makes the 7 Pot Bubblegum line so unmistakable among collectors.
How hot is 7Pot Bubblegum Yellow?
The variety reaches around 850,000–1,000,000 Scoville Heat Units, clearly placing it in the superhot range. Behind the massive heat is a fruity, lightly sweet note. If you're after comparable extreme varieties, you'll find them among our super hot chilli plants (heat level 10+++).
What makes the bleeding calyx effect special?
With many chillies, the calyx stays green even on ripe fruit. With 7Pot Bubblegum Yellow, by contrast, the yellow ripening colour can extend into the calyx. How pronounced this is can vary from fruit to fruit – which is exactly what makes the variety so exciting to grow. The 7 Pot Bubblegum line comes from the United Kingdom. Another classic 7 Pot variety in our range is 7Pot Jonah.
A yellow superhot for sauces, ferments and powder
The yellow, heavily wrinkled fruit is irregular to lantern-shaped and usually around 4–5 cm in size. It ripens from green to bright yellow. In the kitchen, the tiniest amounts are enough for very hot sauces, ferments, powder or spice blends. How to dry your harvest and turn it into powder is shown in our guide to drying chillies.
Growing a late-ripening superhot chilli
7Pot Bubblegum Yellow needs warmth, sun and time. We therefore recommend a sheltered spot, and in our climate a greenhouse or polytunnel where possible. In warm conditions, the fruit ripens after around 95–105 days. A sufficiently large pot helps the plant grow vigorously and bring many fruit to full ripeness. If you're collecting extraordinary varieties, you'll find more unusual plants among our rare chilli plants.
Pot, substrate and overwintering
The bushy, well-branched plant belongs to Capsicum chinense and reaches around 60–110 cm. In a pot, at least 8 litres makes sense, 10 litres is better; 15–20 litres is ideal. The substrate should be nutrient-rich and well-draining. Water evenly, avoid waterlogging and feed regularly with tomato or vegetable fertiliser during growth and fruiting. The plant isn't frost-hardy but can be overwintered frost-free – how that works is shown in our guide to overwintering chillies.
Absolutely recommended! I’m completely impressed with this chili plant seller. The quality of the plants is outstanding – strong, healthy, and clearly grown with passion and expertise.
The absolute highlight for me, however, was that this seller is one of the few places that offers my all-time favorite variety, the Lemon Drop chili. I’ve finally found a reliable source for this fantastic variety!
Shipping was fast, and the plants were perfectly packaged, so they arrived in excellent condition. I can wholeheartedly recommend this seller to any chili lover looking for top quality and fast delivery. I will definitely be ordering here again!

#1 Spice supplier
Super friendly service when buying chili plants, and the products are truly excellent. My #1 source for heat :) The ultimate compliment came from an Indian colleague who said that with Tschida chili sauces, he can finally enjoy the level of heat he knows from home here in Europe!

Simply top!
Tschida Tschili – where heat and flavor come together in perfect harmony. The chili products are simply outstanding. I love spicy food, but many products just burn your tongue without delivering any real flavor. With Tschida Tschili, it’s completely different. For an experienced palate, everything is very enjoyable. The flavors are perfectly matched to the level of heat, resulting in truly delicious products.
I visit the farm from time to time as part of my culinary tours with groups. What can I say? Jan and his family are simply the perfect hosts – friendly, authentic, and genuinely local. I always really enjoy visiting you!
