What You’re Growing

Dragon’s Breath peppers are among the most extreme chillies grown today. The plants develop into sturdy, bushy producers that generate aggressively bumpy, twisted pods that look as dangerous as they are.

This variety is all about raw intensity — explosive heat with a sharp, earthy flavour profile. It’s sought after by extreme chilli enthusiasts, collectors, and superhot growers who want to push the absolute limits.

This is not a novelty pepper. This is a challenge.

How to Grow Dragon’s Breath in Ontario/Canada

Like all extreme superhots, Dragon’s Breath requires patience, warmth, and a strong indoor start in Canadian climates.

1) Start seeds indoors
Start seeds 10–12 weeks before last frost (March–early April in much of Ontario).
A heat mat is strongly recommended for reliable germination.
Provide strong, consistent light immediately after sprouting.

2) Transplant timing
Transplant outdoors only once all frost risk is gone and nighttime temperatures remain warm.
Harden off plants gradually over 7–10 days.

3) Sun + soil
Full sun is mandatory for pod development and maximum heat.
Use rich, well-draining soil and water deeply but consistently.

4) Give it space
Plants grow bushy and heavy with fruit.
Large containers or in-ground planting are ideal.
Staking or cages are strongly recommended once pods begin to set.

Harvest Tips

Harvest when peppers turn fully deep red — this is peak heat and flavour.

Green pods are edible but significantly milder and less flavourful.

Always wear gloves when harvesting and handling — Dragon’s Breath oils are extremely potent.
