Soft in color but fierce in character, the Peach Trinidad Scorpion is a stunning pastel variant of the famous Trinidad Scorpion pepper. Pods ripen from pale ivory to warm peach tones, developing the classic scorpion tail and deeply wrinkled texture that define the variety. The gentle blush coloration gives this pepper an almost delicate appearance, but the heat is anything but delicate. This is a visually captivating, high-impact chinense pepper prized by collectors for its flavor, form, and rare color expression.
 
These seeds are authentic Peach Trinidad Scorpion, harvested from verified, pesticide-free mother plants grown naturally in small batches. Every seed is hand-cleaned and dried with care to preserve purity, excellent viability, and true peach phenotype development.
 
Flavor Profile

Peach Trinidad Scorpion offers a bright, fruity chinense flavor with a clean citrus edge, gentle sweetness, and a smooth, rising heat. Compared to the red Scorpion, the peach form has a more delicate fruitiness and a slightly softer flavor before the intensity builds. It is a favorite for sauces, powders, and anyone who loves superhots with tropical character.
 
How This Variety Was Developed

The Peach Trinidad Scorpion originated as a natural color mutation within the original Trinidad Scorpion line. Through multiple generations of selective breeding, growers stabilized the peach coloration while preserving the pod structure, productivity and chinense aroma of the original variety.
 
A Note About Seed Count

Pastel chinense forms typically produce fewer viable seeds per pod. Each packet contains five premium seeds, ideal for collectors and growers who enjoy experimenting with unique color variations. 
 
Growing Notes

Start seeds indoors 8 to 12 weeks before the last frost and provide steady warmth for germination. Transplant outdoors after nighttime temperatures remain above 55°F. The Peach Trinidad Scorpion thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, producing heavy yields of warm-toned pods as the season progresses. Maintain regular feeding and moisture for best production.

Use garden gypsum to add calcium to the soil in addition to vegetable fertilizer. Gypsum adds essential calcium that is the key to success with peppers, without raising the pH. I use organic chicken manure based fertilizer. 
Do not plant peppers where you just previously planted tomatoes, eggplant or potatoes as this can make them more susceptible to disease as they are all from the same family. The pests that are attracted to these plants can remain in the soil for a while and build up and cause problems for future crops. They also use the same nutrients and can deplete the soil of what they need in particular if planted in the same spot. It’s always good as a general rule to add fresh soil and rotate all crops.

PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS:
Start the seeds in starter pots with a premium potting soil. Plant the seeds ¼ inch deep. Place in full sun. Keep soil moist but not wet. Seeds will sprout in 1-2 weeks. Once the seeds have sprouted, continue to keep soil moist but not wet and plant them where desired. Keep in full sun. 
In colder climates, you can plant them in the ground and grow them as an annual or bring them indoors in winter or greenhouse kept. In warmer climates that do not freeze, you can grow these year round and they will live for several years. If you are right on the cusp and do get freezes of short duration, you can mulch heavily around the plants and cover the plants with fabric specifically designed for plants. 
 
Use premium potting soil when re-potting or garden soil if planting in the ground. Fertilize with a vegetable fertilizer.  One of the most important things you can do to ensure success of any pepper plants is to provide them with a source of calcium. This will not only yield larger healthier plants and peppers but will also provide disease resistance. You can use spent eggshells, but keep in mind that they take a while to break down. You can also use garden gypsum which is what I prefer because it provides calcium without affecting the ph of the soil since peppers prefer slightly acidic soil and other types of calcium will raise the ph.  I use Espoma Organic Garden Gypsum. You can find it on Amazon or other retailers. It’s a little pricey but it will last you forever and you can use it on all peppers, sweet or hot as well as tomatoes.  
 
Never plant peppers where you have had tomatoes, eggplant, or potatoes planted in the last 3 years. All of these plants are in the nightshade family and are susceptible to the same diseases and have similar nutritional requirements. Planting them in the same area can expose them to disease that can slowly build up in the soil as well as leach the area of nutrients that these plants specifically draw from the soil which may leave new plants of the same species lacking what they need. It’s always good to rotate all crops as a general rule.
