The habanero chili is one hot pepper! Unripe habaneros are green, and they color as they mature. Common colors are orange and red, but white, brown, and pink are also seen. The Scotch bonnet is often compared to the habanero, since they are two varieties of the same species, but have different pod types.

Both the Scotch bonnet and the habanero have thin, waxy flesh. They have a similar heat level and flavor. Although both varieties average around the same level of “heat”, the actual degree of piquancy varies greatly from one fruit to another with genetics, growing methods, climate, and plant stress.

The name means “someone or something from La Habana”, or as it is known in English, Havana (“b” and “v” being interchangeable phonetically in Spanish).

The habanero chili comes from the Amazonas region, and from there it was spread through Mexico. One domesticated habanero, which was dated at 8,500 years old, was found at an archaeological dig in Peru. The Yucatán Peninsula is the biggest producer of habaneros these days, but it’s grown in many South American and Central American countries.

Red Habanero  -This hot habanero with its fruity flavor is a fine addition to make extra spicy salsas, marinades, and very hot sauces. It originates from the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico and will grow well in northern climates. Easy to grow.

Jamaican Hot Chocolate - Has more flavor than chocolate habanero.

This cultivar comes from a pepper that was found at a market in Port Antonio, Jamaica. The wrinkled pods are very hot and have a strong smoky flavor. Chocolate habanero is a great tasting pepper, but many people say that Jamiacan Hot Chocolate has more flavor and tastes even better! 

This beautiful pepper has great flavor and grows to about 2” around. The shiny skin of this Habanero-type pepper changes from green to red-brown and finally to chocolate brown at maturity. Capsicum chinense (100 days) Heirloom - Open-pollinated

~ Packet contains 10 seeds. 

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. Harvest peppers when they are brown.

Plant seeds in the garden two weeks before the last frost. Transplants grown indoors will need eight to 10 weeks of growing time before planting out. In areas with less than 120 growing days, the peppers can be started earlier and grown inside until transplant time.

Choose a location with full sunlight for at least six hours per day, as habaneros LOVE the sun. Dig your hole twice the width of your pot and as deep as you can so that the soil level will be as close to the leaves as possible.

GREEN PEPPER HABANERO

A sweet habanero pepper with crisp, thin skin and an exotic, floral flavor. Enjoy the bright tropical sweetness of this pepper without even a hint of heat. The Habanada was developed by Michael Mazourek of Cornell University as the first heatless habanero and was released in 2015. The 3” orange pods grow on 24-36” tall plants that produce fruit all summer long. If you like the flavor of habaneros try adding a few of the Habanada peppers to your habanero hot sauce. The flavor will have more depth and be incredible without adding additional heat. 

Growing Tip: The Habanada pepper seeds prefer to germinate in really warm temperatures. Start seeds indoors 8 weeks before the future transplant date and keep the heat mat thermostat at 85-90 degrees F. Sow the seeds 1/4” deep in seedling mix. Keep the soil moist, provide bright light above and bottom heat below. Germination can take 14-28 days.

Orange Lantern is a hot little chili that originated in South America.

The plants become relatively compact and produce masses of small very hot fruits, which look like small lanterns.

Plant in moist seed soil or peat briquettes and place warm. approx. 25-30 degrees for best germination The soil should be moist but not wet. Feel free to use mini-greenhouses to maintain a moist environment. When the plants have grown somewhat and have their second pair of leaves, you can advantageously lower the temperature to about 20 degrees and move them out of the mini-greenhouse. Thrives in a sunny window, or in a greenhouse and also outdoors in the summer. For best results, soak the seeds in Growhelper for 12-24 hours before sowing them
