| Notes | Yellow like the sun and hot as blazes describes the Lemon Habanero Pepper. If that scares you, there’s a Yellow Banana Pepper and a cup of milk waiting for you in the nursery. Everyone else can pull up a chair to the big kids’ table. This prolific plant produces lots of 2" wrinkled, waxy fruits that ripen from bright green to bright yellow to smoky golden yellow. The fruity fragrance draws you in, the citrusy flavor sits you down, and then 300,000 Scoville heat units (SHUs) of pure heat blaze across your tongue. Where’d you say that milk is again?
