Habanero Peruvian White Lightning - A very rare habanero with creamy white lantern shaped pods. This pepper grows quickly and produces fruit in great numbers. One plant can produce hundreds of tiny fruits. Great for making white hot sauce!
The white pods measure 1-1/2" long and 3/4" wide and grow on 24" bushy plants. Capsicum chinense (90 days)
Heat Level: Extra Hot. Scoville Heat Units 400,000
~ Packet contains 10 seeds.
Capsicum chinense strains require a great deal of attention during the germination process. Moisture and a constant and consistent heat range must be maintained. 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 containers.
All of our seeds are GMO-free.

Literally so hot I started crying. The spice is no joke. The color is quite unique in itself, a white pepper, never have i seen a white pepper before. It also has a interesting taste, it tasted floral?. First time germinating these seeds, these seeds took longer than my other peppers to germinate. Took about a little over a month to germinate, but the pepper has a high yield.
Excellent seeds. Surprisingly high germination rate - 100%! - with no special equipment (peat pellets in a covered tray on top of the 'fridge). The six plants that we ended up with have already produced very impressive yields of dozens of attractive little pods, 3/4” - 1.5”, ivory colored at maturity. Very, very nice flavor; basically the familiar earthy/smoky/sweet habanero but with an additional bright citrus note which is very appealing. Heat is significant, eyebrow-raising and sweat-inducing, but enhances the flavor of the food without even slightly overpowering it. These will be a star performer in our sauces, relishes, salsas and marinades from now on. Highly recommended.
I grew Sandia's White Habanero seeds for the past couple years, they are great for making my popular white hot sauce. The seeds sprouted pretty quick with a heat mat under my aerogarden, and they transplanted well into the garden in late May. I plan to grow these every year now, great seeds.

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!
