Chilli Pepper Habanero Red Seeds
Chilli Seeds from Sow Seeds Ltd
The Habanero Red Chilli is an extremely hot pepper with a unique flavour and plant grows to around 1m tall. The Chillies measures from around 3.5cm - 6cm long x 2.5cm - 5cm wide.
Habanero Red is Native to Central America and grown as a vegetable, Capsicum chinense is a tropical herb that is 70-80 cm tall. C. chinense varieties are well known for their unique flavours and many have exceptional heat. The hottest peppers in the world are members of this species, with Scoville Heat Unit scores of over 2 million. The leaves are compound with each leaf composed of 3 leaflets. The flowers found in the axils of leaves. They are white and occur singly or in clusters of two. The fruit is used as a flavouring and spice. It has tonic and antiseptic properties. It increases perspiration, reduces pain sensitivity, and stimulates the circulatory and digestive systems.
Habanero Red Chillies mature from green to red and are a great looking specimen, especially for containers. It does however need a long growing season to produce chillies but will continue to fruit later than some other varieties (December in our polytunnel this year).
PLEASE NOTE - we do not recommend growing chillies on a windowsill, especially the hotter varieties. Chillies need a constant and consistent temperature to germinate and windowsills above radiators do not provide the ideal conditions, especially overnight when temperatures can drop dramatically.
