110+ days. Capsicum chinense. Open Pollinated. Carolina Reaper Purple Pepper. The plant produces good yields of 1 ¼” long by 1” wide wrinkled Habanero peppers with a pointed tip. Peppers are extremely hot, have medium thin flesh, and turn from green, to green with purple tint, to red when mature. The plant has dark green leaves, green stems, and creamy yellow flowers. It has a fruity and sweet flavor, but the intense heat level kicks in shortly after eating the pepper. It is not yet stable and may throw off pods of differing colors and shapes. Be very, very careful handling this extremely hot pepper. Excellent for beef jerky, jerk sauces, pickling, and making salsa, hot sauce, and seasoning spice powder. Try growing all the Carolina Reapers: Chocolate, Mustard, Orange, Peach, Red, and Yellow versions. Excellent choice for home gardens. A variety from North Carolina, USA. Scoville Heat Units: 2,200,000.

Hot Pepper Seed Planting Information:

Some hot pepper varieties come from tropical humid regions and some varieties come from dry desert regions. The temperature, moisture, and air circulation all play a role in growing plants from seeds. Too little heat, too much moisture, and lack of air circulation will cause poor results. Do not use jiffy peat pots, plugs, or potting soil as the soil becomes too dry or too wet, which can lead to disease and fungus. We have experienced disease and low germination when using these types of products. Use Miracle Gro Seed Starting Material for best germination results. Read the Hot Pepper Growing Tips and Planting Instructions for information on growing hot peppers from seeds. Please take time to watch the Hot Pepper Planting Instructions Movie . Plants can grow 1 to 7 ft tall.

Soil Requirements:

Requires fertile soil in a well drained location in the garden. Apply mulch, grass clippings, or straw around the base of the plant.

Water Requirements:

Water well with soaker hoses during dry and hot spells.

Fertilizer Requirements:

Use Slow Release (6 Month) Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Apply Miracle Gro Liquid Fertilizer every two weeks.

Harvest Tips:

Harvest hot peppers when fully mature using garden scissors, so you don't damage the plant. Pick peppers as they mature to encourage new buds to form.

Note: The temperature, moisture, and air circulation all play a role in growing plants from seeds. Too little heat, too much moisture, and lack of air circulation will cause poor germination results. Warning: Do not use peat pots, plugs, or potting soil for growing hot peppers from seeds as the soil becomes too dry or too wet, which can lead to disease, fungus, and poor germination results. Do not use covers or lids as lack of air and condensation moisture will cause poor germination results, disease, and fungus. Use Miracle-Gro© Seed Starting Mix for best germination results.
