Carolina Reaper Super-Hot Pepper Seeds grow the world’s hottest certified pepper, holding the Guinness World Record with an incredible 1,569,300 Scoville Heat Units. Developed in South Carolina, this super-hot variety is a cross between a Ghost Pepper and a red Habanero, producing bright red, gnarled pods with the signature scythe-like tail that makes the Carolina Reaper instantly recognizable.

Despite its extreme heat, the flavor is surprisingly complex, offering fruity citrus notes with subtle chocolate-cherry undertones before the intense burn takes over. Mature peppers reach about the size of a ping-pong ball and grow on vigorous, tall plants that can reach up to 5 feet in height. These peppers require warm temperatures and bottom heat for successful germination, along with patience and caution during handling.

For growers seeking maximum heat, dramatic garden interest, and a pepper with true world-record credentials, the Carolina Reaper remains unmatched. Ideal for hot sauce, powder, or any recipe where extreme heat is the goal.
