This is a no-heat habanero pepper that looks and tastes like an orange habanero. The flavor and aroma of Trick or Treat is equal to, or better than a hot habanero. This variety was crossed with a Capsicum chinense orange habanero that was lacking the capsacin heat gene.
Make salsa with incredible flavor by using six Trick or Treat peppers and one hot habanero. The flavor will be out of this world!
The orange lantern shaped pods grow on 24”-36” tall plants that continue to produce fruit all summer long. Capsicum chinense (95 days) Heirloom - Open-pollinated
Heat Level: Sweet. Scoville Heat Units: 0
~ Packet contains 10 seeds.
*Note: Low germination percentage at 50%. We are glad to bring this pepper back. We encourage you to save your own seeds from your peppers for increased seed vigor and germination next season!

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.
All of our seeds are GMO-free.
Not all seeds germinated but the pack came with a few more than labeled. The ones that did germinate produced nice bushy plants. Still waiting on fruiting:)
I use these tasty habaneros in my "mild" salsa I make for my Mom. who can't tolerate heat. We both love the flavor of this pepper in salsa! Although, I pair it with a wicked hot Habanero salsa so I can swap between the two. I'll grow these every year.
Well, while I like hot peppers, not everyone does. This is a great Habanero to add to salsas for those who can't take the spice. They have great flavor, and are pretty and prolific. These had great germination, too, with some heat. Nearly every seed sprouted! I highly recommend this if you like the flavor of Habaneros but want to tame the heat in your recipes.

I tried these purple Cherokee seeds on 2024. This is the first time growing these purple Cherokees and were amazed at the ease of germination and taste
These germinated in two days. I started them in midsummer and they fruited by late fall in my zone 10b garden and are overwintering just fine. I’ll have more to harvest by late spring. I made my red sauce for pozole for Christmas with my harvest!
Big Chiles with just enough heat to add to green enchilada's. The flavor after roasting is fantastic. Since green chile roasting is not a local thing in Eastern Washington we us a weed burner. The smell of roasting peppers is heavenly.
My favorite green chili to grow. Plenty of heat and after roasting sit perfectly on a hamburger. Also my wonderful wife makes Puelo Chili jam that is a real crowd pleaser
I was looking for a spicier New Mexico red chile and this was awesome! It is a beautiful looking pepper and the taste is superb.
Very productive plants even up here in New England!
Plants were quite bushy and full of peppers. Great flavor. Made a wonderful little Ristra with some of the later harvested peppers. Will continue to grow these yearly.
These plants were super healthy all season long and produced a LOT of fruit. They'll add heat and color to any dish. They made my cowboy candy and pickled jalapeños extra special!
Very good germination rate and super abundant and delicious peppers!. I had them in 10g and 5g fabric pots and they very well the last two years. Amazing to smoke and dry / freeze to have throughout the year! I just made a spicy brown porter mustard with scotch bonnets! Also made an amazing roasted scotch bonnet hot sauce! yum!
These Hatch Chiles are flavorful with a good amount of heat! Each plant produced a good amount of peppers! I will be growing these again!
These grow large. We roast them and peel them and make green chile from them. My husband adores them.
Made Chili Mac for my Step son and he ate it all in one sitting.
I plant 10 plants every year.
These are definitely ornamental, they add a nice touch of color to your garden.. and they are spicy too!
Grew the purple jalapenos last summer. Slow to get going, but ended up with a nice compact bush in a pot. I am trying to overwinter them by bringing the.pot inside for the winter. It is still growing, small purple peppers about 1" long.
These germinated and grew beautifully, was happy to use them to create the delicious green chile of my home but in a new country!
