Pepper, Purple Peach Ghost

Ever wonder why it's called a Ghost Pepper (Bhut Jolokia)?  Well, the "bhut" means "ghost", given from the Bhutias people, probably because the heat sneaks up on you like a ghost.  

The Purple Peach Ghost Pepper is a more rare variety due to its captivating & vibrant colors, plus its unique color transition.  This pepper begins its journey with deep, rich purple tones that gradually shift to a delicate peach color as it matures.  And we are here for all of its beauty and flavor.   
Speaking of flavor, we love to use ghost peppers in hot sauce and seasoning!  

Favorite plant color combos: 

• Purple Peach Ghost + Marta Polka Bell Pepper
• Purple Peach Ghost + Sunrise Bumblebee Cherry Tomato
• Purple Peach Ghost + Cardinal Basil

Ghost pepper plants thrive in fertile, well-draining soil.  Full sun is a MUST.  Plants grow about 3' tall.  Superhot peppers may need extra protection before the peak of summer and again at the end, depending on how Mother Nature rolls. 
Mulching at the base of your plants will retain warmth below the surface as well as ensure good soil moisture.  ~1,000,000 Scoville Heat Units.
