CHILLIESontheWEB Quick Growing Guide to Clockwork Red chilli plant
Clockwork Red is a savage superhot variety known for its violent appearance and even fiercer heat. These pods are wild – contorted, deeply wrinkled, and sometimes tail-like, resembling the chaotic internals of a clock gone mad. But beneath the twisted look lies sharp, fruity flavour backed by searing intensity.
This is a chilli built for serious heat seekers. Clockwork Red regularly breaks the 1 million Scoville barrier, delivering a slow-building, deep-burning heat perfect for making next-level sauces, oils, or powders. The plant is high-yielding and thrives in warm, sunny spots with well-draining soil.
Not just a chilli – it’s a statement. If you want a pod that looks evil and tastes incredible, Clockwork Red is ready for your garden.
