It's a superhot hybrid released by burpee most notably sold at home depot. I have to say I was a bit skeptical about it because I found no information or coverage online about it. But I found it to be a surprisingly really nice tasting pepper and super productive too 🤔

I have a couple plants but I’m not home right now to try them. I’m excited to.
Nice thick walls! Crazy to find it at HD. The hottest I’ve seen there is a ghost.
Ive got 2 plants of them growing and have just started flowering. Got them at HD too. Really anticipating them!
Two years ago when i found it. It was lovely! I haven’t been able to get my hands on another plant 😔
I grew 3 of these pants recently. I picked early and on the green side. I chickened out and used them in a sauce. Good luck to the face heat. I didn’t eat them directly.
I had about 25 of them. Gave a lot away.
Grew chocolate apocalypse this year and thought it was super tasty. Incredibly hot but the heat was actually pretty short lived compared to the other superhots I grew. Like 2 or 3 minutes of intense heat and then you start to cool off, which is nice because if you over do it, it doesnt ruin your night.
I have one lone pepper on my plant i got from home depot. Honestly, for a 4 dollar plant from HD i wasnt expecting much. Plant looks good though so hopefully more to come. Excited to try it
Love the faces peppers make
Haven’t grown them but I bought a few from a local guy and made sauce. I really enjoyed it.
I have an Armageddon plant in my yard right now! They’re quite tasty if you can handle the heat enough to actually taste them, and they definitely have a solid kick. They have a more slow crescendo heat profile than my ghosts do, but also more staying power. All in all a really nice pepper IMO.
Yes. Just pick my first one today.
I have about two dozen in the final stages of ripening, really excited to try. They are huge!
Yeah, growing them now. The plant is very prolific.
They hot. Like super hot. I can only do slivers. The flavor is in the same spectrum of habenero and Carolina reaper. Maybe less fruity but still very nice. I think they clock in a bit less than Carolina reaper, but it’s in the ballpark. Handle with care.
I am growing them. Very hot. I made some flakes and they are very tasty.
Yes, I grow them every year. They are probably my favorite red super hot. I love their flavor. I make a hot sauce out of them with some Fresnos. I ferment them for a few weeks.
I had some of these last year and they’re about the same as ghost peppers as far as heat, at least to me.
It even looks like it’s in pain.
Yes! We had 4 plants a few years ago and they produced a ton and are the hottest peppers I’ve grown. Too much for me but they were great to add to big batches of salsa. We ended up giving a ton of peppers away that year.
Good lord is it hot, I’m growing these and they’re so lovely, tasty too but sooo hot. I love how big the plant is getting. I really like these peppers 🙂
I read that the Armageddon was developed for Tesco. Have grown them a few years. Made some sauces, really enjoy the flavour and the kick. Used many in a ferment with other mid heat peppers that really kicks up the heat of the batch.
I bought one as well. Very hot. Along with red habanero and jalapeños.
Do you have any recipes and/or uses. Can’t just cut them up and make an omelet. Sauce? I can use some ideas.
I did. What’s strange to me is that they seem hotter than the reapers I’ve grown, and way beyond any ghost or ghost variant I’ve grown. Not sure if my tolerance is getting lower, but this was the hottest pepper I’ve ever grown despite the Scoville rating being less than the reaper. Enjoy!
Those oils are insane..
I found a plant at a local nursery; finally starting to produce well but nothing ripe yet. Very curious how it compares to the reapers and scorpions I grew last year.
I’ve already harvested 25+ pods off mine. Bought from Home Depot at the end of April and repotted twice. Most of the early ones were kinda small.
Pods haven’t been consistent in shape or size. But the current 30+ pods on the plant are mostly consistent in size and shape. Half of them are ripening, so I’m pretty excited.
I like the flavor. It’s very bright and floral. I can’t eat more than 1 in a day otherwise my stomach is destroyed the next day.
