Orange Scotch Bonnet Pepper

More about Orange Scotch Bonnet

Capsicum chinense

Orange Scotch Bonnet is an heirloom pepper popular in Caribbean cooking and widely known for its unique shape, which resembles the wool "Tam" hats traditionally worn in Scotland.  Also known as Bahama Mama, the Scotch Bonnet pepper is thought to have originated in Jamaica where it is still regarded as an essential ingredient in traditional dishes like jerk chicken and Jamaican curry. With a Scoville level between 100,000 and 350,000, the Scotch bonnet packs a fiery intensity that is similar to a habanero.  What sets it apart is its sweet, citrusy flavor, which adds a depth of flavor to sauces, rubs, and marinades.

The Scotch Bonnet Pepper is easy to grow, with plants reaching 30 inches tall and producing huge (we'd almost say burdensome) yields of 1.5-inch-wide, vibrantly colored hot peppers.  You'll be eating them fresh, pickling, drying, and giving them away.  Take care to protect hands when handling fruit or seeds.  They are very, very hot.  Harvests begin approximately 90 days from transplant.  Each packet contains a minimum of 10 seeds.

IMPORTANT: Super hot chilis can be challenging to grow as they have a long germination period (21-28 days) and require long, hot growing seasons.  See our article on starting peppers indoors and ensure that you have enough warm, frost-free days to allow for maturity and a sufficient harvest period.

High Quality Seeds & Packaging

I bought 2 packets each of Orange and Yellow Scotch Bonnets. I soaked 2 of each seed in water overnight and then moved them into a moist paper towel in a ziplock bag the following morning. I had a 100% successful germination rate. From soaking the seeds until the taproot developed, it took 4 days. After the taproots developed, I moved them each into their own 4" pot and put them under my grow light. 6 days later, all 4 seeds had cracked the surface. So far I am very impressed with the quality of seeds and the packaging that they came in. I will update this review later in the pepper plants' life cycle. So far I have nothing but great things to say!
