The Variety

White Knight is a striking superhot pepper developed from Jay’s Peach Ghost Scorpion and White Bhut Jolokia genetics. It is known for its ghostly white pods and strong heat.

The fruits are gnarly and curved, maturing into a bright, almost pure white color that stands out among other superhots.

Flavor & Heat

White Knight delivers a quick, intense heat with a clean burn. It features sweet, fruity, and citrusy undertones typical of high-quality chinense peppers.

The heat hits fast and lingers, making it suitable for sauces and bold culinary use.

Garden Notes

Plant outdoors only after temperatures are consistently warm. White Knight performs best in full sun with well-drained soil and consistent moisture.

Plants typically grow 2–4 feet tall and are productive. Some leaf coverage can help protect pods from sunscald during peak heat.

🌱 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.
