Cultivate Intense Heat with Capsicum Carolina Reaper – The World's Hottest Chilli Seeds

WARNING: For the brave and daring only! Capsicum Carolina Reaper is officially ranked as the second hottest pepper in the world by Guinness World Records. With an average Scoville rating of 1.5 million units and peaks up to a scorching 2.2 million, these chillies are not just hot—they’re legendary. The Carolina Reaper is a true challenge for any chilli lover, with its devilish red fruits and distinctive stinger tail. Whether you're looking to push your culinary limits or simply want to grow one of the most notorious peppers in the world, the Carolina Reaper is the ultimate test.

🌿 Why Grow Capsicum Carolina Reaper?

  • Unrivalled Heat: If you’re a chilli enthusiast, the Carolina Reaper is a must-have in your garden. These peppers are not just hot—they’re dangerously hot. Imagine the thrill of growing a chilli that holds the title for one of the most intense heat levels in the world, capable of adding fire to any dish.

  • Devilish Appearance: The fiery red colour and unique stinger tail give the Carolina Reaper an unmistakable look. These chillies are not just a challenge for your taste buds but also a striking addition to your garden, sure to impress and intimidate in equal measure.

  • Extreme Culinary Uses: Despite its extreme heat, the Carolina Reaper also offers a surprising fruity flavour. This makes it a fascinating ingredient for those brave enough to use it in salsas, hot sauces, and marinades. Just a touch is enough to add a blast of heat to any dish, making it a prized possession for extreme spice lovers.

  • Caution Required: Handling Carolina Reaper seeds and fruits requires serious caution. The seeds themselves are almost as potent as the fruits, and even brief contact with skin can cause burning. Always use gloves and avoid touching your face, especially your eyes or mouth, when working with these chillies.

🌞 Growing Guide:

  • Sowing Time: Best sown in spring or summer when the warm temperatures will help these chillies reach their full potential.
  • Position: Requires full sun to develop the intense heat and vibrant colour characteristic of the Carolina Reaper. Choose a sunny spot for the best results.
  • Sow Depth & Spacing: Sow seeds 0.5cm deep, with an 80cm spacing between plants to allow ample room for growth.
  • Germination: Expect germination within 7 to 21 days. Carolina Reapers take longer to produce ripe fruits than many other capsicums, so patience is key.
  • Days to Harvest: Ready to harvest in 150 to 180 days. While they take time, the wait is worth it for the intense heat and flavour these chillies provide.
