Armageddon Chilli

About Armageddon

The Armageddon chilli is a British-bred superhot that has taken the chilli world by storm. With a recorded Scoville rating of 1.3 million, it ranks among the hottest chillies ever cultivated. It's not just its heat that makes Armageddon noteworthy; it is also poised to exceed the Carolina Reaper in intensity as it is grown in hotter climates and more samples are tested. Bred in Blunham, Bedfordshire by renowned chilli grower Salvatore Genovese, Armageddon has quickly become the most exciting development in chilli cultivation since its debut in the summer of 2019.

Demand for this fiery chilli is soaring, with both pods and seeds becoming highly sought-after commodities. Armageddon made headlines across the UK as it captured the imagination of chilli enthusiasts and growers alike. When I grew this plant for the first time in the 2020 season, it lived up to its reputation. The plants grew into lovely bushy forms, producing a huge number of pods that were phenomenally hot. Despite its blistering heat, Armageddon is valued for its robust and intense flavour, which adds a fiery depth to dishes that few other chillies can match.

Armageddon's rapid rise in popularity is not just due to its heat but also its excellent growth habits and fruit production. It's a versatile addition to any chilli grower's collection, offering both an extreme heat experience and a bountiful harvest. If you're looking for a chilli that combines the best of British breeding with the potential to become the hottest in the world, Armageddon is a must-try. However, be warned—this chilli is not for the faint-hearted!
