Red Habanero
SPICY HOT! This pepper is the hottest we offer. The little lime-green peppers ripen to red. Start indoors in March. The seed is slower to germinate (up to 3 weeks) and should be kept at 21-24ºC (70-75ºF). Big plants need lots of heat to mature and are well worth the time - and the tears. 100,000 - 350,000 SHU's.
Matures in 90-100 days. (open pollinated seeds)

Grew some beautiful peppers with these seeds. The plants do very well as potted window plants as well, just make sure they're getting full sun. They were very easy to grow and I am far from being a seasoned cultivator. If I could do it, anyone should be able to get these going.
The peppers are fairly spicy. They turn a nice deep red and have strong rich flavor. One pepper should be more than enough to flavor and spice up whatever dish your making. Just make sure if your preparing for other people, that they are well seasoned pepper eaters as even the smallest peice packs quite a punch when they're fresh. Also when cutting the pepper, make sure you scrub your hands VERY thouroughly afterwards. A touch to your eye would be fairly painful.. or even worse a trip to the restroom could turn very ugly if any residue are left on your fingers.
Otherwise these have become my favorite peppers to use for cooking. I've grown Jalapeno and Portugal Red and these by far have the best flavor. |
