Hot Pepper Inferno — 6 Live Plants: Carolina Reaper, Trinidad Scorpion & Ghost Pepper

The three hottest peppers on Earth, in one garden. The Carolina Reaper holds the world record. The Trinidad Moruga Scorpion held it before that. The Ghost Pepper (Bhut Jolokia) was the first ever to break one million Scoville. This collection puts all three in your backyard: six live plants, each in its own 4-inch pot, ready to plant. Grow them for legendary homemade hot sauce, for drying into powders and flakes, or simply for the bragging rights. These are the peppers your friends will ask about. What’s included 2 Carolina Reaper — the official world’s hottest pepper, 1.6–2.2 million Scoville. Fruity, then ferocious 2 Trinidad Moruga Scorpion — 1.2–2 million Scoville with a distinctive stinger tail and tropical-fruit aroma 2 Ghost Pepper (Bhut Jolokia) — the original superhot from Assam, ~1 million Scoville, smoky and slow-building All three thrive in full sun and love heat — give them the warmest spot in the yard or a large container on a hot patio. Long season producers: expect ripe pods from midsummer through frost. A word of respect: these are genuine superhots. Wear gloves when harvesting and cooking, and keep pods well away from kids and pets. Prefer flavor over fire? Our Salsa Garden Kit ($59.97) covers taco night without the heat warning.
