Reaper Sbagliato Chili Pepper Seeds

The Reaper Sbagliato is closely related to the Reaper Sbagliato Purple Peach, which is a Carolina Reaper Red x Pimenta Puma cross. Apparently, a non-isolated Reaper Purple Peach plant reverted back to red and is now being grown out as Reaper Sbagliato Red. While these definitely ripened red for us in 2021 (sometimes with tinges of purple) some were still showing streaks of peachy colors during the ripening process. So the name Sbagliato (which I believe means Reaper “mistake” in Italian) is pretty fitting and the color stability and pod shape are still being worked out. As Bob Ross would say, this is one of those “happy little mistakes” because the result is a wicked-looking superhot with amazing fragrance and fruity flavor. It definitely has that Reaper smell with an extra dose of fruitiness. Heat is similar and pods absolutely ooze with oil when cut open. Plants grow large and develop tinges of purple in the leaves. Pod walls are pretty thin and make a delicious hot chili powder. Again, expect some interesting color mixes with this unstable Reaper variety.
