Description

Purple Bhut Jolokia is a purple form of the famous ghost pepper, and a plant that is beautiful in every stage. The pods turn from green to a deep, glossy purple and finally ripen to red, some passing through orange on the way, so a mature plant carries a whole spectrum of colours.

The flowers are what really set it apart: they are purple, a rare trait in this group of chilies, and they make the plant a showpiece even before the pods arrive.

The heat is the full, intense ghost pepper experience, with a delicious, fruity flavour behind it. The plant is a prolific producer. Great in hot sauces and dried as a powder. Open pollinated.

Challenge: 1 (easy to grow).
