Sepia Serpent

Description

Sepia Serpent is not for the faint-hearted—WARNING: EXTREMELY HOT! This variety brings a frightening level of heat that will challenge even the most seasoned chili enthusiasts. The pods are gnarled and wrinkled with a dark brown hue, hinting at the insane levels of heat within. Its intense, fiery burn is accompanied by a bold and complex flavor that makes it as flavorful as it is terrifying.

There are rumors that Sepia Serpent could rival some of the hottest peppers ever measured, making it a true beast in the superhot category. Despite its aggressive heat, the plant is surprisingly easy to grow, remaining compact and thriving even in smaller pots. For the adventurous gardener, this variety also works beautifully as a bonsai chili, adding to its appeal.

Approach with caution—this serpent delivers a bite you won’t forget! Open pollinated.

Challenge: 1 (Easy to grow, not that easy to eat!)
