Leviathan Gnarly Scorpion: Extremely spicy, extremely aromatic

A top-class intersection

The Leviathan Gnarly Scorpion Chili is a fascinating cross that is causing a stir in the world of extremely hot chilies. By combining the genetic properties of a Scorpion chili with those of an unknown variety, a variant was created that not only impresses with its spiciness, but also with its extraordinary aroma. The long, wrinkled fruits demonstrate a high concentration of essential oils, which give this chili variety its unmistakable character.

Cultivation and harvest

With a height of 50 to 80 cm, the Leviathan Gnarly Scorpion is relatively compact and is therefore ideal for growing in pots or in the home garden. The plant requires sunny locations and regular care to develop its full potential. Harvesting the deep red, wrinkled berries is not only a highlight for chili enthusiasts, but also a challenge due to their extreme spiciness.
