Hot Pepper, Orange Embers Habanero (Organic)
Capsicum chinense. Very Hot. 90-100 days.
Orange Embers Habanero is the end result of 8 years of selecting an easy to grow, early to mature orange habanero with a moderate heat level that is easier to use in recipes. Ranging anywhere from a quarter to half as hot as a typical habanero, Orange Embers still retains all of the flavor and aromatic spice that habaneros should have. Short plants are great for containers and are loaded with small orange fruit which resemble embers. The heat is spicy, but not burn-your-face-off hot – more like the heat of smoldering embers than a raging fire. Orange Embers originated from a chance cross between a yellow Aji Limon and an orange hybrid habanero. This wide cross offered us the perfect opportunity to select several very different new peppers, including Limón Lightning. Perfect added to pickled carrots or for producing hot sauces with a tropical character. We are super excited to finally introduce these gems and to pledge them with the Open Source Seed Initiative!

|---|
Sow indoors in flats with good potting soil as early as February, but no later than April. Keep warm and well-watered. Up pot seedlings into 4” pots when they have their first two true leaves. Transplant out into the garden after danger of frost has passed, typically late May in western Oregon.
Seed Saving
To save seed, wait until fruit is fully ripe. Remove seeds from fruit and dry. Isolate from other pepper varieties of the same species by at least 500 feet.

Really good producer. Grew six plants in bags in a greenhouse. Harvested at least a quart of peppers per plant. Excellent hotsauce peppers!
