Chilli Habanero Red 100mm
$5.95
The Habanero Red is a true classic among hot chillis — famous for its intense heat and tropical fruit flavour. This vibrant variety produces lantern-shaped red pods that pack a powerful punch, typically measuring between 200,000–350,000 Scoville units. Its flavour is complex and aromatic, with notes of sweet mango and citrus, making it a favourite for fiery salsas, hot sauces, and Caribbean-style cooking.
Compact and high-yielding, Habanero Red plants thrive in warm, sunny positions and make an eye-catching addition to vegetable gardens, courtyards, and patio pots. The glossy green foliage contrasts beautifully with the vivid red fruit, creating a stunning decorative and edible feature.
Growing tips:
- Plant in well-drained soil with full sun exposure.
- Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy.
- Feed every 1–2 weeks during flowering and fruiting with a liquid fertiliser for strong growth and rich flavour.
- Harvest when the fruit turns deep red and firm for maximum heat and sweetness.
- A bold, flavour-packed chilli that brings both beauty and bite to your garden and kitchen.
