£5.99

Out of stock

Don’t underestimate this little fella – hot hot hot!
Habanero peppers may be small but they are also fiery and are among the hottest chilli peppers that you can get. With small tapering fruits 2-4cm long, these fruits start out green and turn to pale orange when ripe.

Number of plants: 1 potted in an 8.5cm bio-pot

Variety: Orange Habanero (organic*)

How Hot? Very hot!

In the kitchen: If you’re brave this chilli will pack a punch in any chilli or curry. It’s also delicious pickled or used in a chilli jam. It can be eaten raw or cooked.

Delivery Info: Available to order now for delivery in September and October. Please see FAQs for up-to-date delivery info.

Planting/Growing Advice: These plants will arrive in 9cm biodegradable pots. They will be flowering/fruiting (or about to!) on arrival. You can grow them on in a heated greenhouse or polytunnel, or in pots on a sunny windowsill or porch indoors. 

When to harvest: Harvest once the fruits turn the right colour and size! Keep picking until they stop cropping, probably in mid-winter. If kept indoors with additional light they may crop beyond Christmas. 

*Transplants suitable for organic growing.
