The Purple Ghost Pepper is a stunning variant of the Bhut Jolokia that goes through a gorgeous purple stage before ripening to red. The purple color comes from anthocyanin, a natural pigment that develops with direct sunlight. It's one of the most ornamental superhots you can grow.
Don't let the pretty colors distract you. This is still a ghost pepper. The heat creeps up on you and builds over several minutes into an intense, stinging burn that sticks around. Sweet and fruity flavor with all the superhot heat you'd expect from the Bhut Jolokia family.
