Capsicum annuum
A cornerstone of Caribbean cooking, the Scotch Bonnet Yellow Hot Pepper delivers a unique combination of fruity flavour and fiery heat. This petite, squatty pepper measures approximately 4 cm in diameter and matures from a vibrant green to a brilliant yellow. Highly sought after for its characteristic flavour, it’s an essential ingredient for authentic jerk paste and other hot sauces.
What you need to know to Plant & Grow
Scotch Bonnet peppers thrive in hot conditions and require a long growing season.
Planting: Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before your last frost date. Sow seeds 6 mm deep in a sterile seed-starting mix. For optimal germination, keep the soil temperature consistently warm, between 24-27°C. Harden off seedlings gradually before transplanting outside to a full sun location after all danger of frost has passed.
Care: Space plants 45-60 cm apart in rows with rows spaced 60-90 cm apart. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Feed with a good quality vegetable fertilizer. For maximum hotness, allow the fruits to fully mature to a deep yellow colour before harvesting.
Heat Level: 100,000 to 350,000 SHU
