The Ghost Pepper, often referred to as the Bhut Jolokia, is an iconic chili pepper renowned for its scorching heat, earning its place among the world’s hottest peppers. Originating in India, particularly in Assam, Nagaland, and Manipur, the Ghost Pepper remained a local culinary secret until it claimed the Guinness World Record for spiciness in 2007. Its global recognition propelled it into international markets, captivating spice enthusiasts worldwide.
Cultivating Ghost Peppers demands dedication, thriving in USDA hardiness zones 6 to 13 and requiring 120 to 160 days to reach maturity. Its intense heat and unique flavor profile, with fruity and smoky notes, make it a sought-after ingredient in various dishes. From salsas to hot sauces, the Ghost Pepper adds a fiery kick, but handling it demands caution due to its potent heat.

Open-Pollinated & Isolated – Important Information Before You Buy Our Live Plants & Seeds.
All of our plants & seeds are open-pollinated unless otherwise mentioned. Our Non-Isolated Seed & Plant Collection includes varieties grown in an open environment, where natural pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and wind may cause accidental cross-pollination. Because these plants are not hand-isolated or protected by physical barriers, we cannot guarantee 100% genetic purity of the plant or seeds from non-isolated plants. Read a more detailed breakdown.
