Description:
Introducing the Purple Death Pepper! It is a super hot pepper with a Scoville heat level of 800,000 to 1,500,000 SHU. Developed by Italian growers, this extraordinary pepper is a cross between the 7 Pot Primo pepper and the Purple Ghost pepper.
Purple Death plants grow from about 2.5" to 3.5" tall. The plants are bushy and very productive. They produce pods that are about 1.5" big. The plants, characterized by dark foliage and exquisite purple flowers, add a unique touch to any garden. This is a must grow for all you chili heads out there!
Resembling the Carolina Reaper, the Purple Death Pepper stands out from the crowd. It starts off growing bold purple pods that mature into a fiery red color. Both beautiful and delicious, the Purple Death Pepper has a fruity flavor combined with extreme heat. It is an ideal choice for crafting spicy salsas or hot sauces.
