Carolina Reaper Yellow is a natural variant of the famous Red Carolina Reaper. It is beautiful with its bright yellow skin, that is smoother and thicker than its cousin. This pepper has rip-roaring heat that completely burns your mouth apart. Try it in your next hot sauce or put a few pieces on your salad to spice it up a lot! Yellow super-hot peppers are the most flavorful and are great for making hot sauces.
Pods are 2-1/2” wide and 2-1/2” long with bright yellow skin and a small stinger. Flavor is citrusy sweet, and not bitter like other super hots. The bushy plants can grow up to 4’ tall. Capsicum chinense (90 days)
*Soak seeds overnight in water before planting.
Germination Tip: Start indoors 8 weeks before transplant date, sow 1/4” deep. Keep soil moist, with bright light & bottom heat at 80-85 degrees F. Germination: 14-21 days.
Warning: Handling this pepper requires extreme caution. Wear hand, eye, and breathing protection.
Heat Level: Furiously Hot Scoville Heat Units: 1,000,000
~ Packet contains 10 seeds.
Limited to two packs per customer
ALL Capsicum chinense strains require a great deal of attention during the germination process. Moisture and a constant and consistent heat range must be maintained for all varieties. Place the seeds in sterile media and cover 1/4” deep. Provide 85°F bottom heat, and a bright grow light above them, and keep moist at all times. Seeds will germinate in 14-28 days. Transplant seedlings into pots and grow until there are 6 true leaves on the plant. Plant them directly into rich soil, 30” apart or into containers.
All of our seeds are GMO-free


Just planted 2wks ago, 100% germination. Can't wait to see what plants look like at harvest.
Woo boy these were hot and delicious. Great for salsa. Awesome yellow color.
This pepper is NOT for practical jokes.
Especially not for rimming your buddies beer when he ain't looking.
We have grown Yellow Carolina Reaper alongside the traditional Red Carolina Reaper for a few years now and it is a customer favorite. The germination is always near perfect and it produces beautiful peppers on nice strong plants!
I grew 3 Yellow Carolina Reaper plants from seed. I ordered from Sandia Seed Co. and they grew to be very large, robust plants and were absolutely loaded with peppers. These peppers are insanely hot, but have wonderful flavor for salsa's and homemade chili. I will definitely grow again.
Seed quality was excellent!
9/10 germination in 4-7 days with 85F bottom heat.
With stats like that it's a perfect gateway pepper for novice growers.
I was stoked when I found these, I've been growing your red Carolina Reapers for many years, so when I saw they came in yellow I had to try them. Great flavor, great heat. Perfect for making hot sauce or salsas. I'll definitely be growing these brilliantly yellow beasts again!
These are super hot and they have a great bright yellow color when ripe. Made a fantastic fermented hot sauce!
I really dig these new Yellow Carolina Reaper seeds – what a great vibrant new color! Still super hot, these yellow gems are now my favorite pepper to grow. I like to grow these to make hot sauce and to add to salsas and chile stews. These have a great flavor if tamed with other ingredients. I also loved that nearly every seed sprouted, I have not had luck with such great germination with super hot pepper seeds from other seed companies. I will be growing these every year.
