These small mushroom-shaped peppers have a sweet, fruity flavor, much like Habanero and Scotch Bonnet peppers. Jamaican Peppers are a staple in many Mexican dishes, including salsas, hot sauces, and meat rubs. It is commonly used in Jerk sauces in the Caribbean because of its balanced heat.

An heirloom pepper with smooth waxy pods that are 1-2" across. They have a citrus-like flavor and aroma. The peppers will mature from green to bright yellow on very productive 24-30" tall plants.

Capsicum chinense (90 days) Heat Level: Extremely Hot Scoville: 250,000

The packet contains 10 seeds.

In early spring, start seeds indoors 8 weeks prior to warm nightly temperatures. Place the seeds in sterile media and cover 1/4” deep. Provide 85°F bottom heat, bright light, and always keep moist. Seeds will germinate in 14 - 21 days. Transplant seedlings into pots and grow until there are 6 true leaves on the plant. Plant them directly into rich soil, 30” apart, or into large 5-gallon containers. Harvest chiles when they are yellow.

All of our seeds are GMO-free.
