Notes | The Orange Habanero Pepper is the kind of pepper that makes you want to check your garden several times a day to see how orange it can get. Very. The kind of pepper that makes you wonder if you can add it to a dish with all orange ingredients like chorizo, carrots, and sweet potatoes. Yes. Or how about with apricots and cantaloupe? Not as hot as other habanero peppers. Very high yields Fruity, citrusy, smoky flavor Hot enough to make a lion yelp Good for containers SEED PLANTING TIPS Botanical name: Capsicum chinense Pepper length: 1"-2" Scoville heat units (SHU): 100,000-350,000/hot Plant support: Tomato cage or stake Depth to plant seeds: .25" deep Spacing between plants: 18"-24" apart Spacing between rows: 24"-36" apart Days to germinate (sprout): 10-30 days Germination soil temps: 75F-85F Soil needs: 5.0-6.0 pH Sun needs: Full sun Frost hardy: No Planting season: Spring, summer # of plants per sq. ft.: Appx. 1 plant per sq. ft.
