Fruity flavor and a beautiful scent.

The Black Panther pepper is a superhot hybrid created by crossing the Bhut Jolokia (Ghost Pepper) with Pimenta de Neyde, prized for its dramatic appearance and extreme heat. The plant features striking dark purple to nearly black foliage and pods that mature from deep purple to vibrant orange with occasional streaking. Delivering an intense heat typically ranging from 1,000,000 to 1,200,000 Scoville Heat Units, it rivals the Ghost Pepper while offering a complex fruity and floral flavor reminiscent of its parent varieties. The thin-walled pods are ideal for drying, powdering, or crafting distinctive, high-heat hot sauces. While germination can be challenging, the plant rewards growers with both exceptional beauty and formidable heat, making it a favorite among chili enthusiasts and extreme heat lovers.

The many varieties of sweet and hot peppers thrive on full sun and warm weather. Cold temperatures can weaken pepper plants and they may never fully recover, so don’t rush to plant in the spring. Be certain to use the black side of the mulch covers to speed soil warming and early growth, but be careful, as they can also overheat the plants in certain climates. Peppers can be temperamental if temperatures are too hot or too cool. Nighttime temperatures below 60°F or above 75°F can reduce fruit set. Peppers need a steady supply of water for their best performance, so be sure to check water levels each day. Like tomatoes, you may find blossom end rot on your peppers, which can be easily corrected. Peppers are prone to sun scald, so moving them to partial shade can help if temperatures become too hot. Sweet peppers can be cut up and eaten raw, roasted and marinated, sauteed; or used in stews, soups, and stir fry. Hot peppers can be pickled, added to stew, used in stir fry, and are excellent when dried and ground to be used as a seasoning to give nearly any dish a little kick.

COMMON PESTS: Aphids, Flea Beetles

SUSCEPTIBLE TO: Mosaic Virus, Blossom End Rot, Sun Scald

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.
