The Purple Death Pepper is a wicked variety renowned for its vibrant appearance, purple inner hue, and intense heat.
Purple Death is not only visually striking but also offers a unique gustatory experience, making it a favorite among pepper enthusiasts.
This pepper variety was created by Italian grower Giancarlo Faddas and is a cross between a 7 Pot Primo and a Purple Ghost (Bhut Jolokia) Pepper.
Faddas Purple Death is a new favorite on our farm, and we’re always excited to grow it every year.
