Chili Carolina Reaper
Small, bright red and almost deadly hot - the Carolina Reaper chili!
From November 2013 to October 2023, the Carolina Reaper held the world record for the hottest chili.
The term "Grim Reaper" means "grim reaper" in English, and the Carolina Reaper is also almost deadly hot. Even heat lovers should not eat a whole pod at once (and, according to the grower, only in company). Those unaccustomed to spiciness should not try them.
They are hardly suitable for eating on their own, but for making chili sauce, drying, pickling or freezing.
The variety is perfect for growing in the GreenBox Plus and can also be used very well for pot cultivation or directly in the garden in sheltered and sunny locations.
Attention: Not hardy!
Grows medium fast.
Single pack variant: 1 bag Seeds in single pack contains seeds for 2 PlantPlugs.
Variant 4-pack: 1 seed pack 4-pack contains 4 seed bags, 1 seed bag is enough for 2 PlantPlugs. This means that 1 seed packet is sufficient for 1 planting of the GreenBox (8 PlantPlugs).
The best substrates for optimum growth and long-lasting plants are PlantPlugs.
