Chilli Pepper Plant ‘Bhut Jolokia Red’ – Ghost Pepper

The legendary ghost pepper with extreme heat, Capsicum chinense ‘Bhut Jolokia Red’, originates from India, where it has earned global fame for its staggering heat levels. The wrinkled, elongated fruits can exceed 1,000,000 Scoville units, delivering an intense, slow-building heat with a slightly smoky, fruity undertone. Once ranked among the hottest chillies in the world, it remains a favourite for those seeking truly extreme spice.
Grow in a warm, sunny, sheltered position in rich, well-drained soil, keeping plants consistently watered and fed with a high-potash fertiliser once flowering begins to encourage heavy cropping. Regular pinching of the growing tips will promote bushier plants and improved yields, while light trimming helps maintain shape and airflow. A superb option for producing your own ultra-hot sauces or pushing the limits in adventurous cooking.
Supplied in approx. 9m pots.
