Grow the Hottest Pepper in the World with Carolina Reaper Seeds!
Ready to challenge your taste buds and grow the world's hottest pepper? The Carolina Reaper Seeds produce the legendary pepper that held the Guinness World Record from 2013 to 2023, packing an insane 2,200,000+ Scoville Heat Units! This fiery beast delivers an unforgettable experience. Expect ear-popping heat, full-body tingles, and an intense endorphin rush. But don’t let the heat fool you; beneath the burn lies a surprisingly fruity, sweet flavor with smoky undertones.
Why Grow Carolina Reaper Peppers?
These super-hot peppers aren’t just for thrill-seekers. They’re a must-have for hot sauce enthusiasts and daring chefs. The bright red, wrinkled pods (2.5" wide and long) add explosive heat to salsas, marinades, and homemade hot sauces. Each plant grows up to 5' tall and 4' wide, making it a striking addition to your garden.
How to Grow Carolina Reaper Seeds
For best results, soak seeds overnight before planting. Start indoors 8 weeks before transplanting, sowing 1/4" deep in sterile soil. Maintain consistent warmth (80-85°F), bright light, and moist conditions. Germination takes 14-28 days. Once seedlings develop 6 true leaves, transplant them 30" apart in rich soil or containers.
Warning: Handle with extreme care! Wear gloves, eye protection, and a mask when working with these peppers—their heat is no joke.

Very high germination rate, strong seed selection, high yield. I purchased this seed from 4 providers and Sandia seeds performed better than the rest…. Even from the creators stock🤔
Five out of the 6 seeds I planted sprouted, so I had five plants, they are finally starting to ripen here in Denver, Colorado. Wish we had a longer season! I plant them in pots so I can move them inside when our first cool weather hits to keep them going and ideally ripening before it winter comes. I love these in your Carolina Reaper salsa recipe!
These had the best germination for me from all the seed companies i've purchased from. the plants were robust and produced lots of pods.
We planted our seeds in seed trays with grow lights and heat mats. The reapers germinated over the course of 2-3 weeks after planting. We got 100% germination. The plants started slowing but have come on pretty strong. The photo shows the plants as they are six weeks after planting. We're happy with them so far and are looking forward to a good harvest.
I ordered, Habanada, Carolina Reaper, and Hatch Peppers 🌶️, I had 95% germination rate, but it was partially my fault because I had some stem rot. You want good peppers…Sandia 💯
Second year ordering. Very fast shipping and I had more hatch and Big Jim’s than I knew what to do with. Made a lot of friends happy. Highly recommend
You have the best price around, and the seeds are very viable - I had almost every one sprout last spring, so I had to share some seedlings with my community garden friends. These are great for drying and putting in small doses into salsas or stews, I love their fruity flavor, but not in large doses. Just ordered some more seeds for this year! I may not plant all the seeds this time so I don't have extras... on the other hand it's nice to give some seedlings away, too!
The last two years i purchased these seeds. I absolutely love them, my wife not so much (she doesnt like super hot)! They grew fast and surpassed my expectations every year so far. I brought the largest one inside to ride out the cold this year. Im excited to see just how well it will do in spring and coming growing season. I always harvest a good amount of peppers off these plants. These are by far the best reaper seeds on the market!!!

These are the best priced reaper seeds I can find, and their germination rate is exceptional. Only wish I had a longer season so I can grow more of these beasts. Just heard about Pepper X beating out the reaper for being the world's hottest pepper – but doesn't look like the seeds are available yet (or maybe ever?) So I'll keep growing these classic super hots, I love the tail on them too. Wicked. And more than plenty hot for my tastebuds, and I like HOT!!
9 out of the 10 seeds sprouted from my seed packet, which is unusual for these super hots. Thank you for the excellent seeds, they grew into tall robust plants with lots of pods. It's hot sauce time!
