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