Purple Death Pepper

Here is the Purple Death Pepper, Capsicum chinense, Scoville units: 800,000 ~ 1,500,000 SHU. The Purple Death Pepper originates from Italy and was created by Giancarlo Fadda around 2019. This crazy hot pepper is a cross between a 7 Pot Primo and Purple Bhut Jolokia. It has a thin wall an fruits get to 1.5+ inches across and turns purple to orange/red when fully ripe. Plants can get to 3.5+ feet tall but often times they stay around 2.5 feet but very bushy so need strong supports. Pods are hot with medium heat. We found this to be a very productive variety and easy to grow in northern climates. Usually fruits first year but sometimes it don't so you need to over winter. Plants can live for many years in pots and tend to stay around 28 inches tall and ornate. A must grow for any collector! Open pollinated, late season, purple, perennial, easy to medium grow, 96 to 120+ days to overwinter for many years.
