Trinidad Sweet Pepper Seeds
Don't let the name fool you. The Trinidad Sweet is one of the most wonderfully deceptive peppers you will ever grow. While it brings the signature look and sweet, fruity flavor of a Habanero, it packs a serious, immediate punch, thanks to its powerful lineage - a cross between a Habanero and the world-record-holding Trinidad Scorpion.
Unlike a traditional Habanero that builds its heat over time, the Trinidad Sweet hits you with an intense, searing heat right away. The robust plants can easily reach four feet tall and are incredibly prolific, often requiring staking to support the sheer weight of the 1 to 1.5-inch pods. You'll get to watch a cool transformation as the peppers start out growing upright before beginning to hang as they ripen from green to a glossy, vibrant red. If you're looking for an uncommon variety with a fantastic sweet-then-heat experience, this is the pepper for you.
