White ghost pepper

White Ghost Pepper combines classic Ghost-type form and lingering super-hot heat with unusual cream-to-white ripe coloration. The elongated pods can be less visually obvious at full maturity than red Ghost types, making ripening behavior worth documenting. Several white Ghost lines circulate, so exact heat, lineage and phenotype details can vary depending on the seed source.
