Growing Information

Growing Bhut Jolokia (Ghost) Hot Pepper

‘Bhut Jolokia,’ also known as Ghost Pepper, is an open-pollinated super-hot pepper prized for its intense heat and rich smoky-citrus flavor. Fruits mature from orange to red and deliver powerful heat that should be used sparingly in recipes.

Start ‘Bhut Jolokia’ indoors for transplanting. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep and space plants 24 to 36 inches apart. Grow in full sun. This heat-tolerant variety develops strong plants during warm growing conditions.

Ready to harvest in about 90 days, pick peppers once they reach their mature size and orange-to-red color. Handle the extremely hot fruits with appropriate care.

Intensely hot, smoky, and citrusy, ‘Bhut Jolokia’ is excellent in very small amounts for curries, chutneys, pickles, sauces, and other spicy dishes.

First year a bumper crop. Second year big plants but no flowers and therefore no peppers. Third year, which is this year, another new packet of seeds and using a heating mat with seed starter soil and nothing has sprouted in about 3 weeks (planted 4 seeds).
