Growing Information

Growing Habanada Habanero Pepper

‘Habanada’ is an open-pollinated pepper prized for delivering the tropical, fruity flavor of a habanero with absolutely no heat. Robust plants produce heavy yields of fruits that begin lime green and mature to a vivid fluorescent orange.

Start ‘Habanada’ 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 especially well during warm summer weather.

Ready to harvest in about 90 days, enjoy the peppers at any stage of maturity, from green through fully orange.

Fruity, aromatic, and heatless, ‘Habanada’ is excellent for fresh eating, roasting, sautéing, sauces, and everyday cooking.

Early start indoors Warm climate and patience!

These are a great peppers-little sweet/spicy, but not hot at all. (do not plant near habaneros!). Patience is the key. Start indoors in trays under lights 8 weeks ahead, baby them, germination is slow but I got 10 of 12 seeds, plant as soon as frost is over and have many true leaves and water, feed, even miracle grow or quick start at first, then fish emulision, then as they grow 10-10-10 side dress, water, water, paitience and wait well past the ivory color, and green, they will turn orange estimate 120 plus days. Save the seeds for next year as F1- I live in South Carolina, great for peppers and very long warm season.

Habanada -- good but they take a long time

I grew a few plants each of three types of reduced-heat habaneros: Habanada, Roulette and Primero. This is my review of Habanada. I am also posting reviews of the other two.

Habanada had the best germination of the three. About three-quarters of the seeds came up quickly. The seedlings were smaller, though, than those of the jalapeños.

These peppers are sweet with a good flavor. The catalog description says they have “absolute no heat”, and I agree. These were the most heat-free of the three. And yet, for some reason, while the catalog color coded the other two types as “mild,” and listed them on the “Barely Warm” page, Habanada was color coded as Medium Hot, and listed on the page with the jalapeños. Why?

Habanada is listed as taking 90 days. They took at least that long. Remember that this is more than just a matter of patience. Ask yourself, “Does my climate have warm summer weather for 90 days?” I live in coastal southern California, where our summers start late and end late. It is a good thing that we had a very warm September this year, because that is when the habanadas got ripe, even into October. But, on the other hand, I had good, crunchy Habanada peppers on the vine at least through Thanksgiving.

The catalog says that Habanada fruits “start lime green.” The company must know some very pale limes. My Habanadas started ivory or cream color. I thought they were sick and dying until I check this out on the Internet.
