Bargain Basket Item!

Officially the hottest pepper in the world as ranked by Guinness Records. The average Scoville unit measurement is a whopping 1.5 million and peaks at 2.2 million. Remember, a spicy habanero scores 100,000 Scovilles. The devilish looking fruits are fiery red with a unique little stinger tail. The average size is 1.5” by 2” long. This scorcher was originally a cross between Pakistani Naga x Red Habanero. Has surprisingly good flavor once you get past the heat. Use extreme caution when handling seeds and picking fruits.

Super hot peppers are tricky to grow. The seeds are difficult to germinate under home growing conditions and they need a long, hot season to produce fruit. Pay close attention to growing instructions. Even under ideal conditions, a 60% germination rate is not uncommon.
