Pink Tiger x Moruga

Pink Tiger x Moruga – hot, beautiful and experimental

What makes Pink Tiger x Moruga special

Pink Tiger x Moruga is a cross between two powerhouses of the chilli universe. It combines Pink Tiger’s striking play of colour with the extreme heat of the Moruga Scorpion – a look that seduces and a heat that bites back.

Background and name

The variety is bred as an experimental hybrid and does not yet have full stability. The name reveals its origin – a visual showstopper that also carries the genetics of one of the world’s strongest chilli varieties.

Appearance and growth habit

The plant grows 100–130 cm tall and has dark-toned leaves with lovely purple pigment. The pods vary in shape but are often bumpy and twisted, with colour shifts from pink to purple and finally brown-red shades.

Estimated Scoville heat

Approx. 1,000,000 – 1,400,000 SHU

Flavour and uses

The flavour is intense and fruity, with clear tropical notes followed by a delayed but strong heat. Ideal for fermented super-hot sauces.

This hybrid is out of stock at the moment, but if you want to go straight to the classic Moruga base, Trinidad Moruga Scorpion is in stock.

Ways to use Pink Tiger x Moruga

• Use in small amounts in hot BBQ glaze

• Ferment into chilli oil with a wow factor

• Decorate dishes where colour and heat take centre stage

How to grow Pink Tiger x Moruga

Pink Tiger x Moruga belongs to Capsicum chinense. Sow your chilli seeds between January and March. Put the plant somewhere bright and warm. It needs time, but rewards you with world-class looks and flavour.

The price is for 6 chilli seeds

Sow in moist seed compost and keep warm, at about 25–30°C for best germination The compost should be moist but not wet. A propagator helps to keep the air humid. Once the seedlings have grown a little and developed their second pair of leaves, you can lower the temperature to about 20°C and take them out of the propagator. They do well on a sunny windowsill, in a greenhouse and outdoors in summer. For best results, soak the seeds in Growhelper for 12–24 hours before sowing.
