Capsicum, Hot Pepper 'Habanero' Organic Heirloom
- Sun Preference
- Full-Sun
Description
One of the hottest peppers, with a pungent, smoky flavor. 2″ long wrinkled fruit that ripens from green to deep orange. Pick when ripe for best flavor. Use sparingly in sauces and salsas. Scoville Heat Units: 200,000-350,000.
Unless you live in a year-round warm climate, start seeds indoors eight to ten weeks before last frost. Keep soil temperature warm (75-80˚F) for best germination. Harden off young plants ten days before transplanting and plant outdoors in late spring. Harvest the first fruits early to encourage continued production through the season. Cut (don’t pull) the fruit from stems.
