BORG 9 PEPPER SEEDS

Borg 9 Pepper Seeds – 10+ Florida Grown Seeds

Not for the faint of tongue. The Borg 9 is a blistering beast born from a cross between 7 Pot Bubblegum and Naglah (Bhut Jolokia x 7 Pot Douglah)—and it lives up to its ferocious pedigree. Bred by Jon Harper in the UK and named in honor of actor Ernest Borgnine, this superhot variety brings brutal heat, twisted texture, and a blood-red blush that often “bleeds” up the stem.

The pods are gnarled, wicked-looking, and roughly 2 inches long. The flavor? Fruity at first, floral in the middle, and then—BOOM. An explosive, long-lasting burn that ranks well over 1,000,000 Scoville Heat Units. It’s a top-tier choice for hot sauce makers, capsaicin collectors, and thrill-seeking chiliheads.
