This pepper is not just a spice—it's a fiery experience, with heat levels ranging between 900,000 to 1,000,000 SHU. The heat builds slowly, delivering a punch that lingers, accompanied by smoky and fruity undertones that add complexity to hot sauces and extreme dishes. Originally cultivated in India, the Ghost Pepper became a global sensation for its intensity and flavor. Its wrinkled pods ripen from green to vibrant red, growing on vigorous plants that can reach up to 4 feet in height. Handle with caution—just a small amount of this pepper can transform any dish with scorching heat. Fun bonsai during the winter! When to Sow & Plant Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date, maintaining soil temperatures between 75-85°F with a heat mat. Provide seedlings with 14-16 hours of light daily to promote strong growth. Once the risk of frost has passed and nighttime temperatures stay above 65°F, transplant the plants into well-drained soil in full sun, spacing them 24-36 inches apart. Ghost Peppers thrive in warm conditions, yielding a bountiful harvest in 100-120 days. Shipping Free shipping for orders up to 3 oz. via eBay Standard Envelope.
