Orange Habanero Pepper Seeds
Meet the icon, the legend, the pepper that defined "hot" for a generation. The Orange Habanero is the undisputed king of classic heat, delivering the perfect, fiery balance of intense spice and phenomenal flavor. Before the age of superhots, this was the final boss for heat seekers, and its incredible taste is the reason it remains a global favorite in kitchens and gardens today.
Don't let its beautiful, bright orange, lantern-shaped pods fool you; this pepper packs a formidable punch. But the real magic of the Habanero is its incredible flavor profile. It explodes on the palate with intense notes of tropical fruit like apricot and apple, all wrapped in a distinct floral aroma. The plants are famously productive, yielding a massive harvest of these fiery gems. If you're ready to graduate from cayenne and jalapeños, your journey into the world of serious heat starts here.
