Also known as the Ice Cream Scorpion, this pepper has a great flavor with a hint of vanilla and grapefruit citrus. The I Scream Scorpion pepper has slightly less heat than other Scorpions, the Scoville on this one ranges from 200,000 - 500,000.
I Scream Scorpion peppers grow on 2-3 ft. tall pepper plants. You'll notice peppers beginning to form, taking a similar shape to their Scorpion counterparts and extending up to 3" long. Note: these peppers are slow to germinate and may take as long as four weeks to sprout, and may take 175 days to harvest. The I Scream Scorpion matures from green, to light yellow, to dark yellow with hints of orange. You can tell how dangerous this pepper is with its scorpion tail, and you may scream because of how hot it is!
