PLANT: Hot Pepper-Orange Habanero

Not for the faint of heart!  These little fire bombs rank 100,000 to 350,00 SHU’s on the scoville heat scale.  Habanero peppers start out lime green, then ripen to fiery orange, then to red.  They require lots of heat, and take a little longer to mature than most other peppers at 90-100 days from transplant.  Plant in full sun, in well drained, fertile soil.   Do not plant with brassicas, beans, or fennel.  (3-1/2 in pot)
