The Habanero pepper is one of the most potent and flavorful hot peppers in the world, delivering intense heat with a distinctive fruity, tropical flavor. This Caribbean classic is a key ingredient in hot sauces, marinades, and Jamaican jerk dishes.

Plants produce small, wrinkled, tapered fruits that ripen from green to bright orange. Peppers can be used fresh or dried and are especially prized for their ability to add bold heat and depth to sauces and basting mixes.

Habanero plants thrive in hot weather, grow 24–36 inches tall with a similar spread, and perform well in full sun to part shade. Harvest begins around 80 days (green) or 100 days (fully orange).

With heat levels ranging from 100,000–300,000 Scoville units, this 3" potted Habanero pepper is ideal for gardeners seeking extreme heat and authentic Caribbean flavor.
