Scotch Bonnet Orange
Orange Scotch Bonnet - Heirloom
These attractive orange hot peppers have a surprising amount of heat and a wonderful aroma. Their unique taste is required for authentic jerk sauce. Jerk is a way of cooking that originated in Jamaica when meat is rubbed with a very sharp spice mixture called Jamaican Jerk spice. It is closely related to the habanero, but with a sweeter flavor and stouter shape.
The pods are 1-1/2" wide and 1-1/2" long and have a citrus-like flavor with a lot of heat. They have smooth waxy skin and four globular ridges at the bottom that aren't quite bonnet-like. The peppers mature from green to bright orange on very productive 24" tall plants. Capsiucum chinense (90 days)

OTHER: The Scotch Bonnet is a very popular hot Caribbean pepper originally from Jamaica. The 1 1/2" peppers are very hot, with an SHU (Scoville Heat Units) rating of 150,000 - 350,000. While they are hotter than a habanero, Scotch Bonnet Peppers have a much sweeter, fruitier unique taste all of their own. They are an important ingredient in Jamaican Jerk spice mixes.
A variety from Jamaica. The Scotch Bonnet Orange Pepper is a very hot pepper, closely related to the Habanero and has about the same heat levels. The pods have almost the same size of a Habanero, about 2.5 cm wide and 4 cm long. The shape is different and resembles a Scot's Bonnet, hence the name.
The many varieties of sweet and hot peppers thrive on full sun and warm weather. Cold temperatures can weaken pepper plants and they may never fully recover, so don’t rush to plant in the spring. Be certain to use the black side of the mulch covers to speed soil warming and early growth, but be careful, as they can also overheat the plants in certain climates. Peppers can be temperamental if temperatures are too hot or too cool. Nighttime temperatures below 60°F or above 75°F can reduce fruit set. Peppers need a steady supply of water for their best performance, so be sure to check water levels each day. Like tomatoes, you may find blossom end rot on your peppers, which can be easily corrected. Peppers are prone to sun scald, so moving them to partial shade can help if temperatures become too hot. Sweet peppers can be cut up and eaten raw, roasted and marinated, sauteed; or used in stews, soups, and stir fry. Hot peppers can be pickled, added to stew, used in stir fry, and are excellent when dried and ground to be used as a seasoning to give nearly any dish a little kick.
COMMON PESTS: Aphids, Flea Beetles
SUSCEPTIBLE TO: Mosaic Virus, Blossom End Rot, Sun Scald
