Description:
The Komodo Dragon pepper was the hottest commercially grown pepper in the United Kingdom at the time of its release in 2015. While still unofficial, it's safe to say that with the burning heat that this pepper has, it's for sure one of the hottest peppers in the world!
These super hot pepper plants grow up to 3 ft. tall and produce plenty of these small, 2" conical pods that look like Red Devil's Tongue peppers, only smaller and brighter. Actually, these wrinkly pods look more like a combination of the 7 Pot and Ghost pepper - both incredibly fiery pepper pods! Ripening from green to red when it reaches maturity, you'll want to be careful handling these pods as the high capsaicin levels these pepper exude can irritate your skin, eyes, and nose.
The Komodo Dragon's heat is not instant and instead builds and builds. The flavor starts out with a delicious fruitiness but is then followed by the ridiculous fire-breathing heat of the Komodo Dragon! This is a pepper for those who are experienced with super hot peppers, so grab a packet of seeds and start breathing fire into your garden!
*Non-Isolated - Disclaimer: While some of our varieties marked non-isolated were isolated when grown, they are an unstable pepper seed variety that may produce plants with genetic variations, making them less predictable and consistent in terms of traits such as flavor, size, and heat level. While this can lead to unique and exciting variations, it's important to note that these seeds may not reliably reproduce the same characteristics from one generation to the next. Planting non-isolated/unstable pepper seeds can be an adventurous gardening experience, but be prepared for some degree of variability in the resulting pepper plants. We will not be able to offer replacements for variation in traits.
