In early spring, start seeds indoors 8 weeks prior to warm nightly temperatures. Place the seeds in sterile media and cover 1/4” deep. Provide 85°F bottom heat, bright light and keep moist at all times. Seeds will germinate in 7 - 21 days. Transplant seedlings into pots and grow until there are 6 true leaves on the plant. Plant them directly into rich soil, 30" apart or into large 5-gallon containers. Harvest peppers when they are orange.
All of our seeds are GMO-free.
Customer Reviews
I ordered these seeds for my garden last year and they produced wonderfully. The flavor was excellent and the peppers had a nice fiery burn to them. We had so many peppers at peak that we started adding them to just about everything just to use them while they were fresh. And all from just 4 plants! This year they germinated quickly (7 days under a grow light) and I’m looking forward to another bumper habanero year!
So happy my Orange Habaneros germinated in 12 days .Big Thanks to Sandia seeds
It's still a little cold for me to plant them in New York but I will get back to you
I am totally addicted to these peppers, I think they taste so amazing in salsas and hot sauces... they have a flavor that just can't be beat, and they're nice and spicy. The more I eat, the more I want!
This was my first time starting Habinero’s from seed. I germinated a couple seeds and picked the best seedling. They did really well growing in So Cal. We left on a 1 month vacation and green peppers were abundant on the 1 bush and when I came home it was totally loaded with bright Orange Peppers. I picked those and now getting a pretty good second batch. I dried them with all my other types of Peppers and made my own smoking hot Pepper Flakes
