Orion Pepper Seeds: A Vibrant Italian Cross for Heat Seekers

Witness a celestial horror born from the mind of master breeder Rocco Maltesi. This is the Orion, a complex polyhybrid that represents the next evolution in extreme pepper creation. Forget simpler crosses; this cosmic beast is forged from a terrifying trinity of pepper royalty: the sadistically hot Fatalii Gourmet Jigsaw, the monstrous Big Red Mama, and the uniquely colored Yaki Blue Fawn.

This parentage creates a pepper that is as visually stunning as it is punishing. Thanks to the Yaki Blue Fawn genetics, pods often emerge in a deep, inky violet or near-black, like a void in space. As they mature, they twist into the gnarled, menacing shapes of their superhot parents, finally ripening to a hellish red or a unique smoky hue. The result is an otherworldly plant that looks like it was grown in a dark nebula. The heat is astronomical, harnessing the full, vicious power of its lineage to deliver a burn that is both profound and unforgiving. This is not just a pepper; it’s a horticultural event.

Key Details:

• Species: Capsicum chinense (Complex Hybrid)
• Heat Level: Very Hot (Est. 1,000,000+ SHU)
• Flavor Profile: Complex floral and fruity notes, quickly annihilated by a uniquely vicious, all-encompassing heat.
• Origin: Italy (Created by Rocco Maltesi)
• Days to Harvest: 120+ days

Perfect For:

Elite growers, collectors of rare hybrids, and heat connoisseurs who have tried everything else. This pepper is for creating sauces that require a biohazard label or powders that can weaponize a meal. It’s a “mad science” project for your garden that yields one of the hottest, most unique peppers on the planet. Handle with extreme caution.
