Purple Death - (Capsicum chinense)

This is one underrated pepper and a must grow if you are a fan of the darker foliage plants. The Purple Death is a cross between a 7 Pot Primo and a Purple Ghost pepper. It looks similar to the Primo but ripens from green to purple then orange to red with slight purple accents. When you cut into them they have a purplish placenta. Plants have dark leaves and purple flowers and grow to 4-5 feet tall and put out an extreme amount of pods. Flavor is fruity and ranks up there in heat.

Heat level: 900,000 - 1,500,000 (SHU) Scoville Heat Units – Extreme Heat.

Flavor:  Sweet and citrusy.
