The Dream

The Dream is a signature Drax Diego creation prized for its peach-to-purple presentation and serious fire. Selected from a cross of Jay’s Red Ghost Scorpion × Pink Tiger, it throws eye-catching pods that often show anthocyanin blush at the shoulder before settling into a luminous peach at full maturity. Expect a fruity, candy-sweet chinense aroma up front followed by a deep, lingering burn—very much in super-hot territory. Plants are vigorous and upright, setting steady clusters on a compact 3–4 ft frame with warmth and feeding. Thin walls blister quickly on a hot pan, making it great for smoked powders, ferments, and high-impact sauces. In full sun the purple cast is most dramatic on immature pods and calyces, adding ornamental punch before the final peach finish. Gardeners grow it for the show; sauce makers keep it for the flavor-plus-fire. Handle with care—gloves and good ventilation are recommended when processing.
