Yellow Scotch Bonnet Pepper Plants

‘Yellow Scotch Bonnet’ is a hot Caribbean pepper variety prized for its distinctive shape, bright color, and bold flavor. Vigorous plants reach about 2 to 4 feet tall and produce numerous 2-inch pods that mature from green to vibrant yellow, while small white flowers add extra ornamental appeal to the garden.

Plant ‘Yellow Scotch Bonnet’ seedlings in full sun after all danger of frost has passed and temperatures have warmed. Set plants in rich, well-drained soil with enough space for good air circulation and healthy growth. Water consistently while plants establish, avoid overly wet soil, and provide regular feeding throughout the season to support flowering and fruit production.

The 2- to 6-inch seedlings arrive ready for transplanting and will continue developing through the warm season. Harvest peppers once they have reached full size and developed their mature yellow color. Wear gloves when harvesting, cutting, or processing hot peppers, and avoid contact with eyes and skin.

Flavorful and intensely hot, ‘Yellow Scotch Bonnet’ peppers are well suited for Caribbean-inspired dishes, hot sauces, marinades, salsas, and other spicy recipes. Their bright color and productive plants also make them an attractive addition to the edible garden.
