Orange Habanero is an aromatic chile pepper with a subtle apricot aroma and offers an intense and pungent heat. Their spicy heat and citrusy fresh flavor go well with so many foods, tropical fruits, lime, avocados, fish, and tequila, etc. All habanero seeds are known for their slow germination and must be grown in warm, moist conditions.
Ripens from green to bright orange color with thin skin and waxy exterior. The pods have a distinctive lantern-like shape and are small at 2” long and 1“-2” wide. Capsicumchinense (90 days) Heirloom - Open-pollinated
Heat Level: Extra Super Hot. Scoville Heat Units 250,000
In early spring, start seeds indoors 8 weeks prior to warm nightly temperatures. Place the seeds in sterile media and cover 1/4” deep. Provide 85°F bottom heat, bright light and keep moist at all times. Seeds will germinate in 7 - 21 days. Transplant seedlings into pots and grow until there are 6 true leaves on the plant. Plant them directly into rich soil, 30" apart or into large 5-gallon containers. Harvest peppers when they are orange.
These have the best flavor for hot sauces and salsas. Easy to grow, great seeds with good germination. We grew ours in pots and they grew very well. Thank you for the quality seeds!

Great productivity, great flavor
I ordered these seeds for my garden last year and they produced wonderfully. The flavor was excellent and the peppers had a nice fiery burn to them. We had so many peppers at peak that we started adding them to just about everything just to use them while they were fresh. And all from just 4 plants! This year they germinated quickly (7 days under a grow light) and I’m looking forward to another bumper habanero year!

I am totally addicted to these peppers, I think they taste so amazing in salsas and hot sauces... they have a flavor that just can't be beat, and they're nice and spicy. The more I eat, the more I want!
