Growing Information
Growing Scotch Bonnet Red Hot Habanero Pepper
‘Scotch Bonnet Red’ is a fiery Jamaican pepper prized for its intense heat and thin-skinned fruits. Peppers mature from dark green through orange before finally turning red, reaching approximately 100,000 to 350,000 Scoville heat units.
Start ‘Scotch Bonnet Red’ indoors for transplanting. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep, space plants 24 to 36 inches apart, and grow in full sun. This heat-tolerant variety performs best through a long, warm season.
Ready to harvest in about 100 days, pick peppers at the stage you prefer or allow them to mature fully red.
Hot, flavorful, and traditional, ‘Scotch Bonnet Red’ is especially well suited to sauces, drying, and Caribbean-inspired cooking.
