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. 😊

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.
