Mustard Reaper Pepper Seeds (Non-Isolated)
Description:
Description:
This is a rare variety of the Carolina Reaper pepper. Crossed between a Red Carolina Reaper and a Mustard Trinidad Moruga Scorpion, Mustard Reaper peppers offer a less-spicy, more-flavorful alternative to one of the hottest pepper's in the world.
Mustard Reaper pepper plants will grow up to an average of 3 ft. tall, with some growing as high as 4-5 ft. Plants bear high yields of these 2” long peppers that start off green and ripen to a golden yellow, mustard-like color, while some ripen straight to red. Most of these pods have smooth skin, contrary to other Reaper peppers, and have thick and meaty walls.
While it’s said that Mustard Reaper peppers are slightly less hot than the original Carolina Reaper, they’re still incredibly hot, boasting heat levels around 1,500,000 Scoville Heat Units! (SHUs) Nevertheless, these peppers contain an abundance of sweet and fruity flavors that make for excellent sauce, salsa, hot sauce, and spicy powder for any food dish!
*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.
