SESE: Pepper: Habanero Seeds

Among the hottest peppers anywhere, Habanero reaches up to 215,000 Scovilles of heat! These little peppers look harmless, but use them very sparingly, and remember to wear gloves when handling them to avoid transferring that heat to your eye! Blocky, wrinkled peppers measure about 1-2 inches long and slightly less wide, maturing from silvery-green to bright orange on the plant.

Seeds can also be sown outdoors when the soil remains above 65°F in early summer. Sow at a depth of 4 times the size of the seeds and expect germination in 10-21 days and will generally fruit in 50-80 days after sowing.
