One of the hottest peppers in the world, the Ghost Pepper (aka the Bhut Jolokia) comes in many different varieties - red, yellow, chocolate, white - but our orange variety is a stellar option that brings a unique flare to your garden landscape while providing all of the best Ghost pepper qualities. The Orange Ghost pepper plant will grow to about 3 feet (possibly will grow larger if planted on the ground) and produce many of these 3" long fiery devils. These peppers, known as the hottest commercially grown variety in the world, have the signature Ghost pepper shape - conical, pendant-like, tapering to a point - and have smooth, shiny skin, almost identical to elongated Habanero peppers (but much hotter). You'll see these peppers ripen from green to orange, and then to red. The Orange Bhut Jolokia pepper’s heat is around 900,000 – 1,000,000 SHUs with a great citrusy, Naga flavor and is the most prolific out of all the ghost peppers. Be warned - the Orange Ghost pepper is EXTREMELY hot as it builds up after the first bite (the word "bhut" means ghost, hinting that the heat will creep up on you like a ghost). Nevertheless, this pepper is great for making hot sauce, jams, and powder. We've heard you can even brew Ghost peppers to your craft beers! Try our other Ghost Pepper Seeds and Super Hot Pepper Seed varieties and bring the heat to your garden! We also carry fiery Ghost Pepper Snacks & Spices that will give your taste buds a scare!

Also spelled Primotailii, this is absolutely one of the hottest peppers to ever exist! This chili is a cross between the 7 Pot Primo and Fatalii that was cross-bred by Chris Saunders in 2012. The Primotalii pepper feels just as hot as the Carolina Reapers and Scorpions, but we’re not sure of the heat level - officially. There’s one thing that’s for certain, this super hot pepper is a scorcher! The 3 ft. tall Primotalii pepper plant produces medium yields of 2-3" long peppers with skins that look like they are boiling. It almost symbolizes the massive heat they carry…yikes. The peppers ripen from green to bright red, and they grow very long skinny tails similar to the Reaper. Heat levels for the Primotalii are said to be over 1,000,000 SHUs, and as high as 2,200,000 SHUs - tied with the world's hottest pepper! Beyond the heat, they boast flavors that are fruity, citrusy, and sweet with floral tones. Some say it may also taste earthy, but you let us know how they taste! Try making hot sauces with these hot peppers, or as a marinade for a variety of meat. But use this pepper sparingly, as a little bit can really spice things up! Set your garden on fire by growing our Super Hot Pepper Seeds and Super Hot Pepper Plants!

This is a rare variety of the Carolina Reaper pepper. Crossed between a Red Carolina Reaper and a Mustard Trinidad Moruga Scorpion, Mustard Reaper peppers offer a less-spicy, more-flavorful alternative to one of the hottest pepper's in the world. Mustard Reaper pepper plants will grow up to an average of 3 ft. tall, with some growing as high as 4-5 ft. Plants bear high yields of these 2” long peppers that start off green and ripen to a golden yellow, mustard-like color, while some ripen straight to red. Most of these pods have smooth skin, contrary to other Reaper peppers, and have thick and meaty walls. While it’s said that Mustard Reaper peppers are slightly less hot than the original Carolina Reaper, they’re still incredibly hot, boasting heat levels around 1,500,000 Scoville Heat Units! (SHUs) Nevertheless, these peppers contain an abundance of sweet and fruity flavors that make for excellent sauce, salsa, hot sauce, and spicy powder for any food dish!  *Non-Isolated - Disclaimer: While some of our varieties marked non-isolated were isolated when grown, they are an unstable pepper seed variety that may produce plants with genetic variations, making them less predictable and consistent in terms of traits such as flavor, size, and heat level. While this can lead to unique and exciting variations, it's important to note that these seeds may not reliably reproduce the same characteristics from one generation to the next. Planting non-isolated/unstable pepper seeds can be an adventurous gardening experience, but be prepared for some degree of variability in the resulting pepper plants. We will not be able to offer replacements for variation in traits.  Check out our Super Hot Pepper Seed collection for additional pepper seeds!

Rooster Spur peppers were known for their elusiveness back in the 1970s when then-President Jimmy Carter tried seeking out these peppers after being gifted with this pepper-infused summer sausage. Today, Rooster Spur peppers are grown worldwide and take on many different names – in Japan, for example, they go by the name Takanotsume peppers, or “hawk claw” peppers. These pepper plants will rise to 2 ft. in height, bearing many of these 2” long fruits. The Rooster Spur gets its namesake from its shape. Small, slim, and curved just like Thai peppers, they look just like the spurs roosters use to fend off their enemies. Peppers will mature from green to dark red. While these plants are used ornamentally, Rooster Spur peppers are very much edible. Just like their talons, however, these peppers pack a lot of piercing heat for the size that they are! Their thin walls work great for drying into chili powder – try this out instead of Cayenne or Tabasco peppers!

The Chocolate Bhutlah is a cross between the Bhut Jolokia ( Ghost Pepper )and the Douglah. That lineage creates this fabulous pepper which can actually have pods HOTTER than the Ghost Pepper.

Expect to have many 3" pods shaped similarly to the Ghost pepper - pendant-shaped, wrinkly skin, tapers off to a point - but the color of the chile stems from the Chocolate Douglah. This is an incredible super hot pepper that should not be taken lightly. Always make sure to use caution when handling these peppers, from harvest to the kitchen. For our super hot pepper fanatics, this pepper may be the right one for you - are you ready for the test...?

Also known as the "Ring o Fire pepper" or "Ring of Fire Cayenne pepper", this is a newer variety of the Cayenne pepper. Ring of Fire peppers are similar in appearance, color, and heat, but they are much more productive and reach an earlier maturity stage, perfect for growers with shorter warmer seasons! The Ring of Fire pepper plant grows to a measly foot-and-a-half tall. These are compact and bushy, producing great yields of these peppers that grow up to 4" long. The small, tapered peppers will ripen from dark green to bright red, and as they mature, they get hotter and more flavorful. You can enjoy Ring of Fire peppers at any stage of maturity, however.

A wonderful superhot pepper creation that might knock you off your socks with its dangerous heat!

Like most yellow hot peppers, it has a citrus, fruity flavor that is amazing to use for hot sauces and marinades.
