Capsicum chinense aka the Carolina Reaper
Turn up the heat in your garden this summer with the legendary Carolina Reaper. Known worldwide for its extreme spice, this iconic pepper produces small, bright red fruits with a signature “stinger” tail and a dangerously intense kick.
Originally bred in South Carolina, the Carolina Reaper held the Guinness World Record as the hottest pepper on Earth, reaching over 1.6 million Scoville Heat Units, with some peppers pushing even higher.
But it’s not just about heat - these peppers also offer a surprisingly sweet, fruity flavour before the intense burn kicks in, making them a favourite for hot sauces and spice lovers.
Plant Features:
- Produces vibrant red, wrinkled peppers with a signature tail
- Grows up to 3–4 feet tall with proper care
- Thrives in full sun and warm temperatures
- Great for gardens or large containers
Care Tips:
- Requires full sun (8+ hours daily) for best fruit production
- Prefers well-draining soil and consistent watering
- Feed regularly during the growing season for maximum yield
Whether you’re a serious pepper grower or just want to challenge your spice tolerance, the Carolina Reaper is a must-have addition to your garden.
Warning: These peppers are extremely hot! Handle with care.
