Habanero Orange - Hot Pepper Seeds
The Habanero Orange Pepper is native to the Yucatan region and is one of the hottest habaneros around! These 1-inch lantern-shaped pods pack a serious punch, with fruity citrus notes and a heat that ranges from 200,000 to 300,000 Scoville units. If you're looking for a pepper that will really turn up the heat, the Habanero Orange is the perfect choice.
GROWING TIPS
Start seed indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost. A heat mat helps to speed up the germination process. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 65-85 degrees. Peppers generally have long growing seasons and grow slowly during cool temperatures. Delay transplanting until your soil has thoroughly warmed up in the spring. A week before transplanting time, harden off plants by exposing them to an increasing number of hours outdoors each day. Peppers are less cold tolerant than tomatoes.
