Growing Information
Growing Primero Red Habanero Hybrid Pepper
‘Primero Red Habanero’ is a hybrid pepper prized for its early maturity, large fruits, and rich citrusy flavor. With only about one-third the heat of a traditional habanero, it delivers the distinctive habanero taste with a more approachable level of fire. Fruits mature from green to bright red.
Start ‘Primero Red Habanero’ indoors for transplanting. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep, space plants 24 to 36 inches apart, and grow in full sun. Its manageable growth makes it well suited to smaller gardens, and plants are noted for disease resistance.
Ready to harvest in about 78 days, pick fruits once they reach the size and color you prefer, allowing them to mature fully red for their richest flavor.
Citrusy, moderately hot, and flavorful, ‘Primero Red Habanero’ is excellent for sauces, drying, and spicy everyday cooking.
