Product Overview
Armageddon Pepper is an extremely hot hybrid variety developed for intense heat and dependable garden performance. The compact yet vigorous plants reach approximately 24 to 36 inches in height, forming a sturdy, well branched structure capable of supporting a heavy crop of pendant fruit. The pods are tapered and pointed with a slightly wrinkled surface, measuring about 2.5 to 3 inches long and maturing from green to a deep, glossy red when fully ripe. With heat levels surpassing 1,000,000 Scoville units, this variety delivers an immediate, powerful burn that lingers, complemented by a faint fruity note beneath the heat. Armageddon typically reaches maturity in 90 to 100 days and produces generously under the right conditions. For best results, plant in full sun, provide consistent warmth and moderate moisture, and feed regularly to promote strong growth and maximum yields.
