Golden Primotalii Pepper

Complex fruity and citrusy with floral and slightly tangy notes plus mild sweetness, emphasizing the bright citrus from its Fatalii parentage before the intense heat builds.

A striking golden-yellow phenotype of the Primotalii superhot, itself a Capsicum chinense hybrid of 7 Pot Primo and Fatalii. Pods are elongated and heavily wrinkled with thin walls and a characteristic stinger tail, ripening from green to bright golden or mustard yellow and measuring roughly 6–9 cm long. The flavor is complex—fruity, citrusy, and floral with mild sweetness—before an intense, lingering heat that places it firmly in the superhot category (community estimates ~1–2.2 million SHU). Plants grow 75–110 cm tall, require a long warm season, and produce moderate yields of lightweight pods ideal for ultra-hot sauces, powders, and ferments.

The original Primotalii was created around 2012 by UK grower Chris Saunders by crossing the ultra-hot 7 Pot Primo with the citrusy Fatalii; the signature long stinger tails appeared in the F2 and were selected for. The Golden Primotalii is a later yellow/golden color phenotype of that line, stabilized and distributed by growers including Jim Morrow.
