Orange Habanero Pepper Seeds

Orange Habanero Pepper Seeds – Productive Plants with Classic Heat and Tropical Flavour

The Orange Habanero is a must-grow variety for gardeners who want heat with complexity. Known for its vibrant colour, fruity aroma, and consistent performance, this pepper delivers both in the garden and the kitchen.

Plant Characteristics:
Habanero plants are compact but vigorous, typically reaching 2.5 to 3.5 feet tall. They have a bushy, well-branched structure that responds well to pruning. These plants thrive in warm climates and are great for both garden beds and large containers. With good sun and airflow, they’re resilient and rewarding growers.

Yields & Productivity:
Orange Habaneros are prolific producers, especially in warm, sunny conditions. Expect dozens of pods per plant throughout the season. They start producing mid-season and continue well into fall with proper care and harvesting.

Pod Size & Details:
Pods are lantern-shaped, about 1.5 to 2 inches long, and ripen from green to a bright, glowing orange. The flesh is thin but juicy, with a heat level around 100,000–350,000 Scoville Heat Units—hot, but manageable compared to superhots. Flavour-wise, they offer a citrusy, slightly smoky profile that’s perfect for culinary use.

Growing Conditions:

• Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before last frost

• Germinate in warm soil (75–85°F) and transplant after soil is reliably warm

• Requires full sun (6–8 hours minimum) and well-drained soil

• Benefits from compost-rich soil or balanced organic fertilizer

• Regular watering and pruning help increase airflow and fruit production

Harvest & Use:
Harvest when pods are fully orange and slightly firm to the touch. These peppers shine in hot sauces, marinades, salsas, jams, or diced fresh into dishes for a punch of flavor and heat. They also dry and freeze well for long-term storage. Wear gloves if you're sensitive to capsaicin.

For gardeners looking for a flavourful, versatile hot pepper with strong yields and stunning colour, the Orange Habanero is a tried-and-true favourite.
