Fatalii Hot Pepper Seeds - Capsicum annuum
Non-GMO Open-Pollinated Fatalii Hot Pepper Seeds
This is the hottest pepper we offer. Fatalii is a fiery Habanero-type heirloom originating in the Central African Republic, loved for its intense heat, bright citrus flavor, and low seed count. Golden-orange fruits grow up to 3 inches long on strong, productive plants.
Fatalii peppers measure 250,000–300,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), placing them among the world’s hottest chili peppers. The slender, pointed, lightly wrinkled pods mature to a vibrant yellow-orange and are perfect for hot sauces, salsas, marinades, and bold dishes inspired by African, Caribbean, and Latin American cuisines.
These vigorous plants can reach up to 4 feet tall and produce abundant harvests throughout the growing season. Fatalii peppers grow well in garden beds or containers and can be overwintered indoors in cooler climates.
Our Fatalii Hot Pepper seeds are open-pollinated, non-GMO, and carefully hand-packed to ensure strong germination and healthy, productive plants—ideal for gardeners who love serious heat with exceptional flavor.
We love using hot peppers fresh, picked, made into hot sauce and of course cooked!
If your into hot peppers, we think you will love these!

Gardener Tips
Seeds should be planted indoors and kept in a dome, under a growing liight with a heated mat for 4-8 weeks.
It is key that your new starts be hardened off. This is a process that requires taking them outside during the day, for a period of time, before they are planted in the ground. This acclimates your seedlings to the outside world, meaning the elements like the wind and sun. We do it for several weeks to a month as this strengthens their stems and overall plant structure.
- Start for a short period of time initially, then graduate to more time each day
- One week minimum is recommended
- Bring them inside in the early evening and overnight
- Keep an eye on them and prevent soil from drying out. Make sure they have not blown over
Harvesting Tips
Peppers are ripe when they have reached their peak orange color.
Keep in mind when processing ripe fruit, the seeds and pith are very hot. We always recommend using gloves when processing hot peppers.
