Red Habanero Pepper Seeds
Turn up the heat and the color with the Red Habanero, the classic orange habanero's bolder, fiercer sibling. This is the iconic pepper that has served as the backbone for countless legendary hot sauces around the world. Prized for its blistering heat and robust, fruity flavor, the Red Habanero is an essential plant for any serious chilihead's garden.
The plants are famously productive, becoming loaded with beautiful, lantern-shaped pods that ripen to a stunning, fiery crimson. This isn't just a color change; the Red Habanero often brings a more intense and searing heat than its orange counterpart. The flavor is a pure, unapologetic combination of intense fruitiness with smoky undertones, making it the gold standard for a classic, high-heat pepper. If you're looking for that picture-perfect, vibrant red hot sauce pepper, look no further.
