Scotch Bonnet

Container Gardening Full Sun
SPICY HOT! Capsicum chinense. So named because of its resemblance to a Tam o'shanter Scottish cap, this little pepper packs a rather powerful kick. Scotch Bonnet chile peppers are widely used in Jamaican and other Caribbean cooking, and have a flavour profile that is quite distinct from its close cousin the Habanero. Give this variety a little extra time to mature and as much heat as possible. 150,000 - 325,000 SHUs.
When fruit is firm it is ready to pick. But if you wait the fruit will ripen further turning red, yellow, brown or purple. The sweetness and vitamin C content go up dramatically when the fruit changes colour. If you pick green the total numbers of peppers harvested will increase. Fruit that sets after late August will not usually develop or ripen. Pull out the entire bush just before the first frost and hang it upside down in a warm, dry place to ripen hot peppers. Expect 5-10 large bell peppers per well-grown plant, 20-50 hot peppers per plant.
