Why Choose Jamaican Hot Yellow Peppers?

These peppers are a staple in Caribbean and Mexican cuisine, adding a distinctive kick to salsas, jerk sauces, and meat rubs.

The plants are highly productive, reaching 24-30" tall, ensuring a bountiful harvest.

Key Features:

  • Extremely Hot: Scoville rating of 250,000 for those who love fiery flavors
  • Sweet & Fruity: Citrus-like aroma and taste, similar to Habanero and Scotch Bonnet peppers
  • Heirloom Variety: Non-GMO seeds for authentic, reliable growth
  • High Yield: Compact plants produce abundant 1-2" peppers
  • Versatile Use: Perfect for salsas, hot sauces, and Caribbean jerk dishes

Each packet contains 10 seeds.

Growing Tips:

Start your Jamaican Hot Yellow Pepper Seeds indoors 8 weeks before the last frost. Plant seeds 1/4" deep in sterile soil, keeping them moist and warm (85°F) for optimal germination. Expect sprouts in 14-21 days. Once seedlings have 6 true leaves, transplant them into rich soil or 5-gallon containers, spacing them 30" apart. Harvest when peppers turn a vibrant yellow.
