Hot Peppers - Caribbean Red Hot

The Hot Pepper Caribbean Red Hot, 'Capsicum annuum' , is even hotter than Habanero! The extremely hot, wrinkled fruit tapers to a blunt point. Peppers use quite a bit of water but prefer to be watered deeply and not too often. Plant in average garden soil with sufficient organic matter. Use gloves and do not touch any other part of the body after harvesting. The plants grow up to 30 inches tall and the fruit packs mega heat. Transplant outside in the spring 3 to 4 weeks after last frost date. The Caribbean Red Hot ripens to a beautiful deep red and has the same distinctive taste of the Habanero. Wash your hands immediately. Plants and fruits are identical to orange habanero only fruits ripen from celery to ruby red. Note: To get a jump on the season transplant outside, use a walls-of-water or some black plastic to maintain and increase temperatures. ... additional information
