Pockmark Orange - Seeds

Pockmark Orange - (Capsicum chinense)

The Pockmark Orange pepper, developed in Australia by crossing Bhut Jolokia (Ghost pepper) and Pimenta De Neyde, is a striking ornamental variety with intense heat and unique flavor. The pods begin dark green or black, transitioning through purples and oranges, resembling molten lava as they ripen. Averaging 850,000 to over 1,000,000 Scoville units, this pepper has a heat similar to Ghost pepper but with a distinctively fruity, slightly earthy taste. The thin-walled, gnarly pods reach about 1.5 inches in length, and the dark-leafed plants grow up to 32 inches, yielding dozens of peppers, ideal for hot sauces or drying into powders.

Heat level: Estimated 800,000 to 1,000,000 SHU – Extremely Hot.

Flavor: Fruity & Earthy.
