~ Packet contains 10 seeds.

Award winning habaneros - award winning habanero jam

Grew these last year, maybe I got lucky, I only planted 2 plants, both germinated and produced a lot of peppers. Hot, but not too hot. I was brave and entered the peppers into the Canadian National Exhibition's vegetable competition and they placed 2nd. I went on to use those peppers to make a raspberry jam to enter into the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair, where they also placed in 2nd place. Award winning peppers and jam from these seeds.

Good heat & flavor, lots of pods

Grew these Caribbean Habanero seeds last year, started indoors with some heat and had plenty of plants for the garden. These are hot and good for making hot sauce. Great color, too.
