Description:
The 7 Pot Merlot is another 7 Pot variety that exceeds 1,000,000 SHUs and has a very unique color shift compared to other super hot peppers.
These peppers get their namesake from their mature vibrant merlot color that will captivate any grower. 7 Pot Merlots start out green then ripen to purple, then to their final deep red/merlot color.
Unlike their saccharine color and appearance, expect a very pungent scent and a floral bite to these peppers. Use these to make hot sauce and chili, or use them dry for their intense heat!
