Black Panther Pepper Plant

VERY HOT! 800,000 – 1,200,000 SHU

The Black Panther Pepper is a rare and exotic hot pepper variety admired for its striking looks and fiery bite. Its pods start off a deep, glossy black—like their namesake—before ripening to bright shades of Orange. The plants themselves are showy, often with dark stems and foliage that make them as ornamental as they are edible.

The peppers are medium-sized, with smooth skin and a sleek, tapered shape. The flavor carries a fruity, smoky undertone beneath the heat, making them a standout for salsas, hot sauces, and bold culinary experiments.

CAUTION: Use rubber gloves (double thick is even better) to pick and prepare peppers.
