Pepper (Hot) - Scotch Bonnet, Red 🔥🔥🔥

$329 USD
Title

🛒 View cart



The Red Scotch Bonnet Pepper is so named because its defined lobes resemble a Scotsman’s tam o’ shanter hat. Also called the Caribbean Red Pepper, the stout little fruit is sweeter and fruitier than its cousin, the Habanero, and hot enough to make a bird fly north for the winter. The plant puts out loads of 1"-2" green waxy fruits with thin skin that ripen through yellow, orange, and red. Its extreme heat and unique flavor is traditionally used in Caribbean hot sauce and jerk seasoning, but will be just as tasty and burn just as hot in any of your recipes.

  • High yields
  • Fresh, fruity flavor
  • Harvest any color
  • Good for containers

Red scotch bonnet not hot
I spent all summer growing these and now that they are ready to eat they are not even hot. Not even mild. They taste like a bell pepper.

Not a single one germinated
I’m a master gardener and very experienced at growing vegetables from seed. Have all the equipment, heat pads, grow lights, green house, etc. not a single seed germinated from the lot I received. The rest of the peppers in the tray all germinated. Very disappointed, but will try again.
