Its small, roughly 1 1\/2 in. peppers bring plenty of fire to a pot, so begin with a tiny amount. This long-season habanero needs a warm start and a sunny, sheltered growing spot. Pick green fruit for a sharper flavor or let it color fully for ripe aroma. Heat varies, but these peppers belong in the extremely hot range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eBright yellow fruit with a fruity aroma and serious heat.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGrowing facts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Capsicum chinense\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaturity or display:\u003c\/strong\u003e 110-119 days from transplanting to ripe yellow fruit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bushy plants bearing peppers about 1 1\/2 in long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24 in between plants; rows 36 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the variety\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHabaneros belong to Capsicum chinense, a pepper species with a long cultivation history in tropical America. Caribbean and Yucatan cooking traditions celebrate their distinctive aroma as well as their heat. Caribbean Yellow is a yellow-fruited selection; a specific breeder or introduction date is not established here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStarting seed\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart 1\/4 in. deep indoors 8 weeks early. Sprouts in 7-10+ days at 80-90 F.
