Pepper Chilli Habanero Mixed Colours
Ready to set your garden on fire? No, not like that, put the blowtorch down, we didn’t mean that… This selection of spicy Habaneros comes in a unique range of colours and are great for growing in large pots. The lantern-shaped fruits ripen to mature colours of chocolate, mustard, orange, peach, red, white and yellow.
Habanero chillies have a deliciously pungent, smoky quality. The official heat scale for chillies is known as the Scoville Scale (developed by Wilbur Scoville in 1912) and Habaneros score at a terrifying 200,000 to 300,000. In the words of Paris Hilton, “that’s hot.”
