Kraken Scorpion Created by Mike Hess in the United States, the Kraken Scorpion is a fierce Capsicum Chinense variety known for its intense heat and bold looks. This compact, bushy plant grows up to 1 metre in pots, producing elongated, dark brown pods with a pimply, rough texture and occasional tails. Starting green, the pods mature to a menacing dark brown, making it a favourite among extreme chilli lovers and collectors seeking both heat and visual appeal.
