Purple Gator Jigsaw Pepper Seeds – 10+ Florida Grown Seeds

 

💜🔥 A visual stunner with lethal heat. The Purple Gator Jigsaw is a rare and exotic superhot pepper that turns heads and tests tastebuds. Bred by European grower Rocco Maltesi, this variety starts out deep purple and matures to a dark reddish-orange, often with dramatic Reaper-like tails. The plants themselves are equally striking, boasting dark foliage and reaching heights of 4–5 feet.

 

With an estimated heat level of 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 Scoville Heat Units, this pepper is not for the faint of heart. Its flavor profile is a bold blend of fruity notes with a hint of smokiness, delivering a fiery heat that’s perfect for hot sauces, powders, and culinary challenges.
