Purple Reaper

Purple Reaper (isolated seeds)

The Purple Reaper is a stunning color variant of the legendary Carolina Reaper, prized for its intense heat and dramatic appearance. This exceptional superhot produces heavily wrinkled, gnarly pods with the classic Reaper shape, often finishing with a pronounced stinger. As the fruit matures, it develops rich purple coloration before ripening to a deep crimson red, with dark anthocyanin hues frequently remaining on sun-exposed pods. Expect blistering heat ranging from 1,200,000 to 1,800,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), delivering a delayed but relentless burn that continues to build long after the first bite. Beneath the extreme heat is a surprisingly sweet, fruity flavor with subtle floral undertones, making this variety an outstanding choice for premium hot sauces, ultra-hot powders, salsas, and other fiery culinary creations.

Plants are vigorous, highly productive, and can reach up to 4 feet tall, producing abundant harvests of these uniquely colored superhot pods throughout the growing season. Their combination of exceptional heat, bold flavor, and striking appearance makes the Purple Reaper a must-have for collectors and serious chile enthusiasts alike.

Because environmental conditions can influence anthocyanin expression, the intensity of the purple coloration may vary depending on sunlight exposure and growing conditions.

Each pack includes 10–20 premium seeds.
