Giant Red Cardi Scorpion – Bold Heat, Bigger Pods

The Giant Red Cardi Scorpion is a powerful cultivar from the Capsicum Chinense family, celebrated for its impressive pod size and formidable heat. Originating from Trinidad, this variety has been refined to produce massive, wrinkled pods that grow up to 6–8 cm long and 4–5 cm wide, making it one of the larger scorpion-types available.

The plant reaches about 70 cm in pots but can grow even larger when planted in the ground, developing into a sturdy, bushy structure with exceptional pod production. Pods mature from green to a vivid red, creating a fiery visual display to match the intense heat they deliver.

Highly sought after by chilli enthusiasts, the Giant Red Cardi Scorpion is perfect for crafting extreme hot sauces, powders, and pastes, offering not just heat, but also the distinct floral flavour that Chinense varieties are known for. A must-grow for serious chilli lovers.
