Red Habanero Pepper is a compact fast growing annual that heavily produces miniature 1 1/2- 2" fiery red hot peppers that are ready to harvest in 100-120 days. These wrinkled peppers are packed with both intense heat and a surprising smokey-sweet flavor. Best if grown in full sun and rich, moist, acidic well-drained soils. Red Habanero is very hot and can reach 100,000 to 450,000 Scoville Units
