NotesThe 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
