This is our Monsterpiece. The Atomics Red Banshee was carefully selected from a breeding project specifically for its most unusual trait: a creeping burn that sneaks up on you and just won't quit. The heat doesn't hit all at once. It builds. And builds. And then it gets personal.
But there's real flavor hiding under all that pain. You'll get a fruity, slightly sweet complexity with a touch of bitterness on the front end before the slow-building inferno takes over. Small pods, massive heat. These 2-3 inch wrinkled, bumpy little peppers pack more punch per square inch than almost anything else we grow.
- Heat Level: 1,200,000 - 2,000,000 SHU / Extreme
- Flavor Profile: Fruity, slightly sweet, complex with a bitter front note
- Days to Maturity: 95-150 days from transplant
- Difficulty: Moderate to Advanced. Typical superhot requirements
- Seeds per Pack: 10+
Every seed is grown in isolation tents at our Nebraska farm, keeping the chance of cross-pollination to around 4%.
Growing tip: Wear gloves when harvesting. Seriously. The capsaicin on these will light up your skin and you'll feel it for hours.
Add to cart and grow something legendary this season.
