Size:100 Seeds Packet Content (approx.): 100 Habanero Orange Pepper is one of the hottest of the habanero's and one of the hottest peppers in the world with a SHU's rating of 100,000 to 350,000 units. This pepper is a very aromatic, flavourful, extremely pungent hot pepper used in Caribbean curries and is the key ingredient in Jamaican jerk sauces. It is believed to have originated in the Yucatan and was later grown in Trinidad and the West Indies. It is slow germinating and prefers a dry, warm growing season. Peppers average 2 x 1 ¼ inch fruits that ripen from dark green to a salmon orange. 75 days to green, 100 days orange ripe peppers. Growing Peppers: Peppers, like tomatoes, grow in well-drained fertile soil Almost all peppers have the same requirements for successful growth. Plant them in good, well-drained, fertile soil - and make sure they get lots of sunlight and a good inch of water per week. In many ways, they mimic the same requirements needed for growing great tomatoes. At Planting Time: We plant all of our peppers with a good shovel full of compost in the planting hole, and then give them a good dose of compost tea every few weeks for the first 6 weeks of growth. We also mulch around each of our pepper plants with a good 1 to 2″ thick layer of compost. Peppers often like to take their sweet time germinating. They can be up in a week, and some will take almost a month. Even with paper towel germination testing, they can take long. I am not sure why, but it is a normal occurrence. So plan and make sure you start them early Harvesting: Hot peppers can be harvested from green or once ripened into yellow. For best production keep the plants in the Greenhouse, Polytunnel, Conservatory. Regular feeding is recommended. Suitable for the vegetable garden, allotments and containers.
