Yellow Scorpion Butch T - 15 seeds

These 15 Yellow Scorpion Butch-T chili seeds come from our own plants in Berlin, producing extremely hot, citrusy and high-yielding superhot pods.

Origin & Breeding
The Yellow Scorpion Butch T is a color variant of the original Trinidad Scorpion Butch T, a pepper that once held the Guinness World Record for the world’s hottest chili. This yellow version was selectively bred to enhance its citrus-forward flavor and golden hue, while preserving the signature sting and heat that made the original famous. It produces smoother, slightly wrinkled pods with a tropical twist.

• • Germination & Growing

    • Start indoors (Nov–Jan) in nursery trays or 5×5×5 cm pots.

    • Use light, well-draining seed-starting soil.

    • Soil temp: 26–30 °C, Air temp: 22–28 °C, Humidity: >60%.

    • Use a humidity dome + heating mat.

    • Provide 12–16 hours of light daily.

    • Add airflow with a fan after germination.

Flavour Profile & Heat
The Yellow Scorpion Butch T has a fruity, citrusy, and slightly floral flavor, followed by a rapid, intense burn. While often slightly milder than the red type, it still reaches heat levels of 1,400,000 SHU or more, making it one of the hottest yellow peppers available.

Note: These seeds were open-pollinated in proximity to superhot pepper varieties, which may result in slightly smaller pod sizes and variations in heat levels. Flavour and productivity remain excellent, but some variation may occur in plant traits.
