The Variety

Peach X DD is a superhot pepper developed by Italian grower Diego Drax. It is part of the Peach X family of peppers, built on Jay’s Peach Ghost Scorpion genetics.

The pods are typically wrinkled and ripen into a vibrant peach or orange color, offering both visual appeal and strong heat.

Flavor & Heat

Peach X DD delivers a strong, building heat with a fruity and slightly sweet flavor profile. It often carries citrus and floral undertones, making it more complex than many superhots.

The heat builds gradually and lingers, making it ideal for sauces, jellies, and fruit-based salsas.

Garden Notes

Plant outdoors only after temperatures are consistently warm. Peach X DD requires a long growing season and performs best in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil.

Plants benefit from consistent warmth and may require support due to fruit load.

🌱 Before You Plant

🌱 Check Night Time Temps

Peppers are warm-season plants and need heat to thrive.

Do not plant outdoors until after the danger of frost has passed and nighttime temperatures stay consistently mild.

Planting too early can slow growth and delay your harvest. Give peppers full sun, warm soil, and a little patience — they’ll take off when the season is right.

🌶️ Why Loud Peppers

We grow peppers across the full spectrum — from bold heat to rich flavor.

Peach X DD represents the balance point, where intense heat meets fruit-forward flavor.

From soil to scorch.
