Habanero
Our hottest pepper for this season at 200,000 to 325,000 Scoville units. Habenero is a Scotch-Bonnet type and is variety capsicum chinensis. In general, hotter climates and warmer weather will produce hotter peppers. Capsicum chinensis needs a longer, hotter summer than Capsicum annuum (most other peppers) and should not be planted until the weather is settled—perhaps mid to late May. Plants will be available a week or two after the other peppers. Dark green to tangerine. Open pollinated. (90 days)
