Scotch Bonnet Orange Pepper Seeds - Fiery Heat with a Citrus Twist
Introducing our Scotch Bonnet Orange Pepper Seeds, the key ingredient for authentic Jamaican jerk sauce and a must-have for heat-loving gardeners. These heirloom peppers pack a punch with their extra super-hot Scoville rating of 300,000, delivering a fiery kick balanced by a sweet, citrus-like flavor.
Why Grow Scotch Bonnet Orange Peppers?
These vibrant orange peppers are more than just heat, they offer a complex flavor profile that’s essential for Caribbean cuisine. Unlike standard habaneros, Scotch Bonnets have a stouter shape and a distinctly sweeter taste, making them perfect for jerk marinades, hot sauces, and salsas.
Key Features:
- Bright Orange Pods: 1.5" wide and long, maturing from green to vivid orange
- Highly Productive Plants: Compact 24" bushes yield abundant harvests
- Authentic Flavor: Essential for traditional Jamaican jerk seasoning
- GMO-Free Seeds: 10 seeds per packet, 90 days to maturity
Growing Tips for Success
These Capsicum chinense seeds require consistent warmth (85°F) and moisture for germination. Start indoors with sterile media, provide bright light, and transplant after 6 true leaves appear. Space plants 30" apart in rich soil or containers.

Great germination, healthy plants and quite prolific. But grew Yellow Jamaican Mushroom pepper instead of Orange Scotch Bonnet. Not bad peppers but I was really looking forward to the scotch bonnets.
Hi Clarie, thank you for taking the time to leave a review and to let us know your experience with these seeds. We're glad to hear that your pepper seeds had great germination and were healthy and prolific. However, we apologize for any confusion with the seed packet – it seems there may have been a mix-up. Would you be able to email us some photos of the peppers if you still have them to support@sandiaseed.com? Or just send us the details of your order, and we can replace your seeds or refund you. We'll also be sure to double check our inventory to ensure future orders are accurate. Happy growing!
Very good germination rate and super abundant and delicious peppers!. I had them in 10g and 5g fabric pots and they very well the last two years. Amazing to smoke and dry / freeze to have throughout the year! I just made a spicy brown porter mustard with scotch bonnets! Also made an amazing roasted scotch bonnet hot sauce! yum!
I had not been able to find Scotch Bonnet peppers anywhere and decided to try to grow my own. These seeds germinated well into robust plants with a lot of peppers on them - even though I had to bring them inside for the remainder of the season due to our short gowing season. Can't wait to make jerk sauce with them! Pepper growing advice on the Sandia Seed website was very helpful, too. I will be buying my pepper seeds here from now on.
Great germination on seeds, they grew into robust healthy plants loaded with Scotch Bonnets! They made a delicious jerk sauce and I also made a batch of fermented hot sauce with them. Yum. I will grow these every year!
