Purple Bhut Jolokia is a very rare pepper, and has a nice sweet flavor with a good burn. Your lips will swell and your tongue will go numb, but you’ll enjoy it! A rare natural variant of the red Bhut Jolokia. These beautiful peppers grow on bushy 30” tall plants. The pods start out purple with dull skin, then white/pale green and glossy, then turn deep purple and then red with dark blotches at maturity. It has purple flowers and purple tinged stems and leaves. A really exciting pepper to grow!

These pretty purple peppers are nice and hot and tasty, too! I try to grow as many purple vegetables in my garden as I can, and this super hot pepper is one of my favorites. Good seed germination, robust plants.
Well.. after failing to get fruit last year their was a plant growing in the corner of the tray and it turned out to be the purple bhut and I was amazed at how it didn't kill the seed or was even their since I clean everything up once a year after the season. They clone really easily and when they do have a good production year, it's quite outstandin
I have grown these for two years and they have become my new favorite hot pepper. Easy to germinate (using a heat mat), they are very prolific. I had a whole countertop full of these beautiful purple ghost peppers each summer. I dry some of them, and make into salsa, and they make a killer fermented hot sauce!
I've grown these before from other pepper seed sources, but these were hands down the best for germination. I had about 90% germination last year, plants were productive and healthy.
I grow a lot of super hot peppers to sell at Farmer's Markets and online, and these were my best-seller this year. People love the purple color and the heat and flavor of these peppers. I sold out quick, so I'll be ordering lots more seeds this year to grow more this season! I also wanted to note that these seeds did exceptionally well with germination, nearly every seed sprouted. Thanks!

These fabulous peppers added lots of color to our patio pots. So pretty in multiple colors, plus you can pick them and add to salsa for a nice spicy kick. These are fun in any ornamental edible garden.
We let these hang dry, then ground them up – they made the tastiest pepper flakes. They have a nice kick, but good flavor too. Easy to grow plants, pretty peppers.
Great seeds, good germination, plants grow quickly and produce lots of pods for roasting. Great flavor and just the right amount of spice. We grow these every year in our garden in Utah.
These are so beautiful, tasty, and meaty. They make a great pico-de-gallo!
These were so big, one tomato can make a nice big bowl of salsa. They do have amazing flavor and color.
These were so tasty and very productive. Great for salsa.
I tried these purple Cherokee seeds on 2024. This is the first time growing these purple Cherokees and were amazed at the ease of germination and taste
These germinated in two days. I started them in midsummer and they fruited by late fall in my zone 10b garden and are overwintering just fine. I’ll have more to harvest by late spring. I made my red sauce for pozole for Christmas with my harvest!
Big Chiles with just enough heat to add to green enchilada's. The flavor after roasting is fantastic. Since green chile roasting is not a local thing in Eastern Washington we us a weed burner. The smell of roasting peppers is heavenly.
My favorite green chili to grow. Plenty of heat and after roasting sit perfectly on a hamburger. Also my wonderful wife makes Puelo Chili jam that is a real crowd pleaser
I was looking for a spicier New Mexico red chile and this was awesome! It is a beautiful looking pepper and the taste is superb.
Very productive plants even up here in New England!
Plants were quite bushy and full of peppers. Great flavor. Made a wonderful little Ristra with some of the later harvested peppers. Will continue to grow these yearly.
These plants were super healthy all season long and produced a LOT of fruit. They'll add heat and color to any dish. They made my cowboy candy and pickled jalapeños extra special!
Very good germination rate and super abundant and delicious peppers!. I had them in 10g and 5g fabric pots and they very well the last two years. Amazing to smoke and dry / freeze to have throughout the year! I just made a spicy brown porter mustard with scotch bonnets! Also made an amazing roasted scotch bonnet hot sauce! yum!
