The Variety

Super Ghost (JW Bhut Jolokia) is a large-fruited strain of the classic Ghost Pepper grown from seed stock originating at Weaver’s Meadow View Farm.

It is known for producing unusually long pods, significantly larger than standard Bhut Jolokia varieties, with heavy texture and strong productivity.

Flavor & Heat

Super Ghost delivers a strong, steady heat typical of Bhut Jolokia peppers. The flavor is slightly smoky with subtle fruity undertones.

The heat builds and lingers, making it well suited for sauces, drying, and powders.

Garden Notes

Plant outdoors only after temperatures are consistently warm. Super Ghost thrives in full sun with well-drained soil.

Plants are highly productive and may require support due to the size and weight of the pods. Expect some variation in pod size and shape due to its uncertain stability.

🌱 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 everyday varieties to extreme heat.

Super Ghost represents the foundation of that journey — a true ghost pepper, grown bigger, heavier, and more productive.

It’s where classic heat meets real-world growing performance.

From soil to scorch.
