The Variety

Purple Peach Reaper is a striking superhot hybrid developed from Carolina Reaper and Pimenta Puma genetics. It is known for its dramatic color transition from deep purple to a vibrant peach tone.

The pods feature the gnarly, textured structure typical of Reaper varieties and often include stinger-like tips.

Flavor & Heat

Purple Peach Reaper delivers extreme, fast-building heat with a long-lasting burn. Beneath the intensity, it offers a complex flavor profile with fruity, floral, and slightly sweet notes.

It is ideal for sauces and extreme culinary applications.

Garden Notes

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

Plants can grow over 3 feet tall and may benefit from staking. Consistent warmth will enhance both color and yield.

🌱 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.
