The Viper Naga, once crowned the world’s hottest chilli by the Guinness World Records, is famed for its blistering heat and impressive productivity. A member of the Capsicum chinense species, it grows vigorously, typically reaching around one meter in height. Its fiery pods mature from green to a vivid red and display a range of shapes—some with distinctive tails, others without. This variety is a top pick for chilli lovers in search of intense heat and bold flavour.
