Botanical Name
Capsicum annum
You like it hot, well this is up there in Scoville rating, the not-so-humble habanero. Loved by chilli aficionados for the intense heat but also its sweet undertones. Definitely not for the faint-hearted though. The 4-5cm x 3cm fruits ripen from green to red. Use fresh or dried. Prefers hot summers, in cooler areas yields outdoors can be erratic. 15 seeds. Not to WA.
