Description:
Our Black Scorpion Tongue seeds are going on 5 generations of growth and careful selection. It's unclear who provided these ultra-rare peppers. But what we do know is that Black Scorpion Tongue peppers have beautiful exotic colors that will shine as amazing ornamental plants in your garden!
Black Scorpion Tongue pepper plants are very beautiful, having dark foliage and growing anywhere from 2-3 ft. tall. Keep in mind to have a plant stake available as the branches could get heavy with many of these 1-2" long tongue-shaped pepper pods. Black Scorpion Tongues will ripen from dark purple, yellow, and orange, to then dark red. In some cases, they have tiger-striped markings in between the ripening stage!
The heat on these small chiles is sizzlin' as the Black Scorpion Tongue comes in at 50,000-100,000 SHUs. They have a hot jalapeño upfront burn before burning your tongue, but their fruity (almost apple-like), floral flavors will be worth the burn. These are productive pepper plants with peppers that are great for pickling, sauces, and salsa. A very beautiful plant that we highly recommend for any-chili-loving home!
