Orion Chili Pepper Seeds

This beautiful super hot chili pepper was once called a Fatalii Gourmet Jigsaw x Big Red Mama x Yaki Blue Fawn pepper, but over time, it became known as just the Orion pepper. This is a wonderful 3-way cross from Italian grower Rocco Maltesi, with a fantastic flavor and immense pepper heat!

Orion chili plants will grow up to 3 ft. tall and perform well in both gardens and containers. These plants are very productive and produce many thick-walled pods that stretch up to 2" long. There is still some variation in color and shape, but generally speaking, these pods will look like bumpy, gnarly-looking berries. The pods will ripen from dark purple to light brown before finishing with a purplish-red color.

You can expect to taste a super unique sweet and tangy flavor when you take a bite out of these peppers. But be warned, these peppers are definitely up there in terms of heat - over 1,000,000 SHUs! Try using these as a dried chili powder or make these peppers into a super spicy hot sauce!
