Trinidad Scorpion Butch T is recognized as the world's hottest pepper by Guinness Book of World Records in 2011. The Trinidad Scorpion "Butch T" measured as high as 1,463,700 Scoville. In our taste test it was just as hot as Yellow Brain Strain! It is named Butch T because the seeds originally came from Butch Taylor.
Pods are 2” long and 2-1/2” wide with smoother skin than other Trinidad Scorpions. Sometimes it will grow a long scorpion tail. It has fruity and floral like flavor with crazy heat. These super hot peppers are perfect for adding to salsa recipes or to make hot sauce! Plants are 3’ tall. Capsicum chinense (120 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.
All of our seeds are GMO-free.
We kept our Trinidad Scorpion Butch T seeds warm and we had nearly every seed sprout! We even pulled out the extras to transplant into their own pots so that we could have more peppers. Next time we'll just try one seed per pod. I will note: some of them sprouted right away, while others took awhile. But ever since we started using a seedling heat mat, we've had great success with all of Sandia's pepper seeds!
We grow these Trinidad Scorpion Butch T peppers to use in hot sauce and to add to salsas, it adds a great fruity kick, but a little goes a long way.

Plants each produced dozens of beautiful peppers. Still going strong in October in Virginia
Serrano Hidalgo Seeds fromSandia Seed produce even in the HOT drought of central Illinois this year! I love adding a little Mexican kick to my salsa but also tossing these on the grill! They have great flavor and produce all summer long!
Quintessence of pepper flavor. Productive plant. Definitely will grow again.
I had looked high & low, and searched the web with many word combinations ‘looking’ specifically for my favorite chili, the Dynamite xx Hot… so I could grow my own. The peppers were sold in Colorado at select places during roasting season, but you couldn’t buy seeds for them… anywhere!
Finally, as luck and persistence would have it, I discovered Sandia Seed Company.
Thank you Sandia! I planted them and had a great crop this year. I plan on growing them every year as well as trying some of their other seeds,
There's just something fun about growing a jalapeno that is light enough in color that some people think it's a banana pepper. LOL! I picked these just for color variety, and I'm very pleased that my plants have been loaded with them all season! We donated about 50 lbs of mixed peppers this year from our garden and I still had enough to freeze some and can more jars of recipes than we'll probably be able to use before next season. All my peppers were from Sandia Seed Company. I've never had such great pepper production before using these seeds!!
Excellent peppers, large and meaty. Easy to grow from your seeds.
This spinach germinated well, and produced way more spinach than I'd initially expected. It grew really well, was slow to bolt in the summer, and has a really nice mild flavor for salads or steamed.
Love this Hatch variety chili, next best thing to living in New Mexico! Yep, they grow in Oklahoma too!
This was my first time growing these and I will definitely be growing them from now on. Great germination and very sturdy plants that have withstood some really high winds. Huge long peppers that are excellent green or red, very easy to peel skin.
Growing these in Florida, (Recent transplant of NM).
Lovely peppers. Took a couple weeks is all and wow! I have several budding; 2 large enough to nickname. They're still in their infancy, but I can tell they are going to be great! Love the seeds!
Prudens purple was huge, productive, and delicious. Very crack resistant. Amazing!
I got these to make Chipotle chilis. These fruit early and are mild-ish when green, but when they ripen, they are perfect for smoking and drying with great flavor and nice heat. Don't plant too many as they are quite prolific.
I grow chilis for seed from Sandia in Wichita Kansas. They take longer for harvesting but make great roasting Chilis. I call them WichiHatch Chilis.
Seeds were amazing with great germination rates. Very stable strain that had little to no variation between plants! Will be running them again!
Just as described. Wonderful Habanero flavor without the heat. This makes the best Chili and we love the flavor.
