Info: Like its other chili relatives, this rare variety of habanero originates from Mexico and is one of the hottest chillies in the world with a spice grading of 300,000 Scoville heat units. The plant grows approximately 50cm tall, has a very bushy growth and has a high fruit yield. The fruits reach about 2-4cm in length and ripen from green through to white and then a light yellow. The fruits have the fruity taste typical of habanero peppers and are perfect for drying out.
Care: Germination temperature is between 22°C and 30°C (germination period: 6-20 days); it is therefore recommended to use a greenhouse and a heating mat. The plants need fresh, well-fertilised permeable soil and should not be left in standing water. They should be placed in a sunny, sheltered place with at least 6 hours of sunlight per day, if not more. Place the plants outside around 2 to 3 weeks after the last frost.
