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!
