The 7 Pot Lucy is a superhot pepper developed by Nick Duran, a cross between the Naga Viper and 7 Pot Jonah. It is a fiercely hot pepper, reaching 900,000–1,000,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), with a floral flavor profile that has a slight sweetness before an intense, capsicin-like burn that lingers at the back of the throat. The pods are a typical Seven Pot shape and turn from green to red when ripe.
