One of the world’s most legendary peppers, the Ghost Pepper (Bhut Jolokia) offers more than just its searing heat—this rare fruit is a symbol of courage, resilience, and transformation.

This 6–10” tall seedling arrives rooted and ready to become a part of your sacred garden, kitchen apothecary, or spiritual practice.

The Ghost Pepper carries a fiercely protective energy. In folk tradition, fiery peppers like these have been used to ward off negative spirits, clear stagnant energy, and ignite courage in those who walk through spiritual fire.
