The Trinidad Moruga Scorpion is a traditional chili variety from Trinidad and Tobago. With up to 1,200,000 Scoville, this chili belongs to the spiciest ones in the world. The taste is sweet and fruity. The spiciness starts strongly and then still increases quite a while in the mouth. The Moruga Scorpion has beautifully shaped fruit tapering in a sting-like tip.

Chili plants can be cultivated as annuals outdoors or as a perennial pot plant. We recommend hibernating the plants and cultivating them perennially as, especially in the second year, a plentiful harvest can be expected. Push the seeds in the seeding compost and keep them warm (approx. 24°C). Chili seeds need warmth for seeding – therefore, a heated plant propagator can be helpful. Grows well indoors. Loves sunny locations and nutritious soil.
Chilis are very nutrient-loving and benefit from strong nitrogen fertilization.
