Pepper - Habanero

Product Info

The habanero pepper is one of the hottest peppers! This high yielding plant has blocky, wrinkled fruits that are 2" long by 1" wide. They start green, then mature to orange. Productive 24" plants should be fertilized when blooms appear. Use in Mexican dishes or as a garnish. As with all hot peppers, remember to wear gloves or wash your hands thoroughly after picking or preparing these fruits.

Water:	Water frequently for 2 weeks after setting plants in the garden to establish a good root system. Do not allow pepper plants to wilt; this can stress your plants, reducing yields. A slow, deep watering at the roots about once a week is fine (including Mother Nature's contributions) unless your plants are wilting.
Mature:	90-100 days
Harvest:	Wait to harvest these peppers until their color changes to orange. HANDLE WITH CARE -- always wear gloves or wash your hands after handling hot peppers.
