Habanero Pepper
One of the hottest peppers, with a pungent, smoky flavor. 2" wrinkled fruit ripens from green to bright orange. Pick when ripe for best flavor. Use in sauces and salsas. Scoville Heat Unit: 200,000-350,000. This seed packet weighs 0.3g.
Planting
Unless you live in a year-round warm climate, start seeds indoors eight to ten weeks before last spring frost. Keep soil temperature warm (75-80℉) for best germination. Be patient. Peppers can be slow to germinate. Harden off young plants 10 days before transplanting and plant outdoors in late spring after soil temperature has warmed.

Habanero peppers require a long hot season to fully mature. For hottest peppers, harvest when they turn bright orange.
