For serious chilli enthusiasts, the Carolina Reaper is a legendary super-hot variety known for its extreme heat and distinctive wrinkled, red fruits. With its intense heat and fruity flavour, this is a chilli for growers and cooks who enjoy taking things to the limit.

The plants produce striking red fruits with the characteristic pointed tail and textured appearance associated with the variety. Carolina Reaper plants are well suited to pots, containers, greenhouses or a warm, sheltered position outdoors.

The Carolina Reaper has been measured at over 2 million scoville units and is the hottest chilli we currently grow!

Great plants fab service

Thank you so much! We're delighted to hear you were happy with both the plants and the service. We really appreciate your support and hope you enjoy a fantastic harvest. Happy growing!

Unfortunately my reaper wasn't upto their standards to ship which I would rather not receive it then get a plant that would struggle, got a full refund a couple days later, obviously would of loved to get it but can't fault how they delt with it not being sellable

Thank you for your understanding and for taking the time to leave such a kind review. While we're always disappointed when a plant doesn't meet our standards, we'd much rather refund a customer than send out something we wouldn't be happy to grow ourselves. We really appreciate your support and hope we'll have the chance to send you a perfect Reaper plant in the future.

Gorgeous and healthy

The plant arrived packaged really well and looks really healthy.

Highly recommend SDCF, I got a scallywag from elsewhere and half its leaves had been destroyed in transit

Only minor thing was it came with a gnat infestation which I am still clearing up!

Thank you for your review and recommendation!

We're delighted to hear that your plant arrived well packaged and looking healthy. We take a lot of care when packing our plants, so it's great to know it arrived in much better condition than some others you've received.

We're sorry to hear about the fungus gnats, and thank you for mentioning it. As we're growing plants in a farm environment, the occasional gnat can sometimes hitch a ride despite our best efforts however what you might be seeing are our natural predators which are parasitic wasps which can look just like gnats. These are a natural pest control which we've introduced to stop aphids.

We hope your plant settles in well and rewards you with plenty of chillies over the season. Thanks again for choosing South Devon Chilli Farm!

Very impressed and growing well

I ordered my 1ltr pot plant which was delivered by Royal Mail about 2 weeks ago. The plants turned up healthy and in good condition and are now growing very well.

We're really pleased to hear your plant arrived safe and well and are now growing on well! We hope you have a very successful growing season!

Extremely disappointing considering the fact that SDCF is very established.

I really wanted to write a good, positive review about the Carolina reaper 1 litre potted plant that I received last year because I was confident the plant would give me a good harvest as I have quite a few pepper plants that I grew from seeds or small plants that actually gave me a good harvest. When I received the plant I was really stoked as it look really healthy and has flowers already forming fruit. As per instructions, I re-potted it in a suitable potting mix, which was when I noticed the root system was extremely small, which has stayed the exact same since last year. I re-potted it as instructed and the growing conditions were favourable as I bought this last year in the hotter months of 2025. I do my research and was confident this plant would thrive as everything was favourable for a bountiful harvest. This was not the case and the only pepper produce by this huge plant was the tiniest pepper I've ever seen in my life! Since then, the condition of the plant has deteriorated so much to the point that I'm considering to never buy any plant off SDCF, which I hope isn't the case if I manage to revive this plant that wasn't suppose to turn into a living branch. Really disappointing as I've seen SDCF videos and the countless plants that they feature, which always appear to be as healthy as can be. Really disappointing!

Hello there,
I am sorry to see your review but should advise you that chillies are generally grown as annuals in the UK (i.e. they do not usually survive UK winters). The root ball will have stayed much the same size since last summer, as the plant will be dormant over the winter if it does manage to survive at all - this applies even if you have the plant inside your home. We provide lots of growing advice to our customers so I recommend that you email growing@southdevonchillifarm.co.uk for help with your exact setup at home - it is a shame we didn't hear from you last year to be able to support you with your home growing setup then as it could be down to temperature, environment, feeding or watering routine that you didn't see results. Unfortunately given the sensitive nature of chilli plants and superhots in particular, you are likely to find that your Reaper will die and that you will need to start afresh each season. This is simply the nature of growing chillies in the UK.
Kind regards,
Jenny
