HABANERO (aka SCOTCH BONNET) Hot Pepper

90-120 days, Heirloom, 200,000 to 325,000 SHU
By popular demand: one of the most blisteringly fiery peppers, from 200,000 to 325,000 Scoville’s (compare with Early Jalapeno at 4,000 to 6,500 Scoville!). Small plants to 18” tall will set 10-20 pendulous dark green fruits which mature to bright orange. Great for greenhouse and container growing. Likes night-time temperatures 70 degrees and above. Key ingredient in West Indian jerk sauce.
