Flavor leads with citrusy, tropical notes, then builds steadily into a long-lasting heat that begs to be used in small doses. Ideal for hot sauce, fermenting, powders, and fiery salsas where you want both aroma and serious punch.
200,000-800,000 SHU. Sugar Rush x Ghost Red is a high-octane hybrid pepper pairing bright, fruity sweetness with a deep, lingering superhot burn. Vigorous plants tend to grow 3 to 5 feet tall and set heavy crops of elongated, wrinkled pods that ripen to red, often showing a baccatum-like shape with chinense intensity. Flavor leads with citrusy, tropical notes, then builds steadily into a long-lasting heat that begs to be used in small doses. Expect maturity in roughly 90 to 110 days from transplant, and because crosses like this can throw a little variation, you may see some differences in pod shape and heat from plant to plant. Ideal for hot sauce, fermenting, powders, and fiery salsas where you want both aroma and serious punch.
