Hot Pepper, Habenaro

This is a pre-order. All pre-orders will be delivered when the season is just right for them. Hot Pepper are planned to be delivered or available for pickup in mid-May.

Habaneros bring a great deal of heat with a great deal of flavor to the table. These little, lantern-shaped fruits pack a punch and make some of the best hot sauces on the market.

Hot Pepper: As group of veggies with tons and tons of variety, there is a pepper for everyone out there. Hot pepper’s heat come from a chemical they produce called capsaicin. Even when they turn out to be too spicy to eat, I love to use the peppers to make a hot oil that can deter pests like squirrels.

Growing Tips: Hot peppers love sun and heat! They do great all summer long in a greenhouse as well as in the garden. Give peppers plenty of fertility and at least 12 inches between plants.
