Naga Viper - 15 seeds

15 seeds from our plants in Berlin. Fruity superhot peppers with a burn that builds quickly and hangs around.

Origin and breeding

Gerald Fowler created the Naga Viper in the UK. It is a hybrid of Naga Morich, Bhut Jolokia, and Trinidad Moruga Scorpion. In 2011, it briefly held the Guinness World Record for the world’s hottest pepper.

Growing in our Berlin setup

• We start these indoors from November to January in Berlin, using grow lights and a heating mat. Adjust the timing to your climate and setup. We use nursery trays or 5×5×5 cm pots.
• Use light, well-draining seed-starting soil.
• Soil temp: 26 to 30 °C, Air temp: 22 to 28 °C, Humidity: >60%.
• Use a humidity dome + heating mat.
• Provide 12 to 16 hours of light daily.
• Add airflow with a fan after germination.

Flavour and heat

Floral and citrusy, with a sharp, lingering heat.

Estimated heat: 900,000 to 1,400,000 SHU.

Our peppers haven’t been lab-tested for Scoville heat.

We grow each variety ourselves before offering the seeds, and save seeds from peppers that best match the variety. Our plants are open-pollinated, so you may still see some variation in the peppers you grow.
