"90 days. Improved version of Habanero, it ripens to a beautiful deep red and is even hotter, with the same distinctive taste. Productive 30"" plants. 1-1/2"" x 1"" fruits. Days to maturity are from time plants are set in garden. For transplants add 8-10 weeks. Space plants 18-24"" apart. Grow in full sun.

"this is by far the best pepper i have ever grown! out of hundreds of varieties i've tried, this is my favorite, mostly because of it's awesome flavor and smell......and heat! you will never experience such a sweet smell as you will from caribbean reds dehydrating on the dehydrator! my plants are 6 years old and the trunks are woody like an oak but the peppers are still awesome!"

seeds don't sprout,
April 17, 2009 Submitted bygerry from el paso
"After 3 weeks and a few days in moist warm soil in darkness, not one seed sprouted.
I used a warming mat and seed starter kit. I put the seeds under the soil about 1/4 inch. I covered the unit and kept it in darkness and kept the temperature at at least 70 degrees.
After waiting three weeks and a few days, I dug into a few and found nothing but seeds which had not sprouted.
I can only surmise that seeds that Burpee sent me were no good."

WOW it's HOT,
August 10, 2008 Submitted byBamboo from Spring Valley, NY
"I grew these in a big container and they preformed well better than I thoght they would. It grows to be a big plant with tons and tons of HOT HOT peppers. Althogh I picked most of them when they were still green, they still beat any other hot pepper I've tried. It does take a while for them to turn red."

"Grew a few this year. The fruit are HOT - noticeably hotter than the orange habaneros I have. Good yield - I'll get 30 peppers per plant (in central Missouri) easily. They are bitter compared to the orange habs though - still a good taste, but I would use these for heat only while I would use the orange habs for both heat and flavor.
I'll do some next year too - good job!!!
Mark"

"You know the guy who can eat anything??? The guy who proudly declares, "Nothing is too hot for me" WELL... This pepper will make him run home crying to momma. Delicious peppers ranging from very hot (100,000 Scoville units) when green, to insanely hot (250,000 - 550,000 Scoville units) when red"
