How Hot Is That?...Chilli Pepper Heat Guide
Supplied as a packet of approximately 10 seeds.
This Product is Available Now.These chillies are lovely; they are slightly wrinkled with an unusual elongated Habanero appearance. They also have a beautiful smoky, spicy flavour, making them perfect for salsa and sauces.
Heavier yielding than other Habanero varieties, 'Hot Paper Lantern' also matures in a shorter time - making it perfect for cooler growing conditions.
Reaching around 3-4" (7.5-9 cm) long the fruits start off lime green and mature to a lovely bright red. The plants have a compact habit, growing to around 2' 6" (75 cm) tall with a similar spread.
To ensure good germination a constant compost temperature of 82° - 86° f (28° - 30° C) is recommended. Germination can be slow and take three weeks or more.
