This Tombstone Ghost Pepper burns so hot and scares you so bad you’ll wish you were in Boothill! The heat is far more than you would expect. It keeps creeping up on you until shivers go down your spine and your face goes numb. Not even whiskey will save you! It has been said that when people survive the heat of this Outlaw Pepper they become Tombstone Legends! 

Pods are 3” long and 1” wide with red dented skin. The 30” tall plants will produce fruit all season. The flavor is fruity up front then spooky hot. This is not for scaredy cats!  Capsicum chinense/C.frutescens  (100 days)

Warning: Handling this pepper requires extreme caution. Wear hand, eye and breathing protection. 

Heat Level: Extreme, Severe and Intense.  Scoville Heat Units 1,000,000 

~ Packet contains 10 seeds. 

In early spring, start seeds indoors 8 weeks prior to warm nightly temperatures. Place the seeds in sterile media and cover 1/4” deep. Provide 85°F bottom heat, bright light and keep moist at all times. Seeds will germinate in 7 - 21 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 large 5 gallon containers. Harvest chiles when they are red and glowing.


All of our seeds are GMO-free.

Tombstone Ghost Pepper Seeds

Thank you for having the Ghost Pepper Seeds available. I bought them for a friend of mine.
He's going to grow them in a pot and then transplant them in his backyard. He's going to do the same with the Scorpion and Devil's Tongue Pepper Seeds. As you can see, he really likes hot peppers. Thank you. 😊

Great for hot sauce

These made a killer hot sauce, I named it "Tombstone Hot Sauce" after your Tombstone ghost peppers. Tasty and HOT!

Productive, Flavorful, Ultra Hot

Never grew super hot peppers but this one grew suprisingly well. Germinated just as fast as my other peppers, and grew almost as fast. Fruit took a while to ripen but grew a ton. Turned them into fermented hot sauce and was so beautifully flavorful … and ultra, ultra hot. Definitely will grow these again because they grew excellently, amazing flavor, and unreal heat to push my limits

Prolific and HOT AF

These are the most prolific pepper plants I’ve seen, especially in the super hot. They out-produced any other super hot I have by a ratio of 5 to 1. They out-produced the other ghost pepper on this page by that or more, easily. Other than that, I can’t really tell a difference in these from a regular ghost. They may be hotter but if they are I can’t discern it. A great hybrid. This is the only red Bhut Jolokia I will be growing from now on.
