About the Death Spiral Pepper

The Death Spiral is a Capsicum chinense variety known for its twisted, contorted pods and wide range of ripening colors. Plants typically grow up to 4 feet tall and produce heavily textured peppers that mature from green to peach and finally to reddish-orange.

Flavor can vary from pod to pod, often offering fruity, citrusy, and floral notes before the intense heat takes over. This variability makes Death Spiral especially appealing to collectors and superhot enthusiasts.
