Carolina Reaper Pepper Plant Start

The current holder of that title “the worlds hottest pepper” clocking in at 1,500,000 to a whopping 2,200,000 on the Scoville scale. The sweet and spicy pepper is quite versatile in cooking, as long as proper precaution is used when handling. Plants produce roughly 20-30 peppers. Fruits ripen to a fiery red.

All plant starts are grown in OASIS® 1.5″ x 1.5″ grow cubes until they reach approximately 4″ to 6″ in height. Plants are only stocked and made available for shipping once both the plant and root system are strong enough to withstand transit.

We do not accept pre-orders at this time.

Pairs Well With:

Eggplants – Peppers and eggplants demand similar growing conditions making them quite a strong pairing

Beans, peas – Peppers are heavy feeders and pairing with legume varieties that enrich the soil will do them well

Lettuce, salad mix – These low-to-the-ground varieties both maximize garden space and are light feeders, complimenting both pepper’s size and tendency to pull a lot of nutrients from the soil

Marigolds – a repellent for some of the pests that bother peppers
