It originates from the high Andean mountains of Bolivia to Peru and is diploid with 2n=2x= 24 chromosomes. It is closely related to C. eximium and a member within the C. pubescens complex or Purple corolla clade.

Plants can get to 6+ feet wiry bush and tend to be a stringy and wide plant with woody branches but if pruned they tend to stay smaller. Pods have a very hot wild bird pepper flavor with a very nice fiery burn that is very satisfying but some peppers may be very hot! We found this to be a more productive then other varieties of Capsicum Cardenasii and easy to grow in northern climates. Usually fruits first year but sometimes it don't so you need to over winter. Capsicum Cardenasii is considered to be self-incompatible so you need to pollinate the flowers with the flowers from another plant of the same species but we successfully pollinated many flowers from flowers of the same plant. flowers will not self pollinate so you have to pollinate them your self. Seeds are can be difficult to start and may need GA 3 treatment but once started they are very hardy. Plants grow well in full or partial sun and can live for many years in pots and tend to stay around 24 inches tall and ornate. VERY RARE! A must grow for any collector!
