The organic red ‘Carolina Reaper’ hot pepper is a spectacular variety that stands out in the garden with its striking appearance, deeply wrinkled bright red fruits, and legendary intensity. A true star of collector’s gardens, it immediately catches the eye with its bumpy peppers ending in a small curved tip, as if sculpted by fire.
