Bushy 3–4 ft. plants produce abundantly until the first frost.

Appearance: Glossy, thin-walled, bonnet-shaped peppers grow 1–2 inches long and ripen from green to vivid red.

Flavor & Uses: Fiercely hot with floral, citrus, and tropical-fruit notes; excellent for hot sauces, salsas, marinades, curries, and pepper powders.

Growth Habit: Compact, bushy plants typically reach 2–4 feet and produce heavily in warm conditions. Stake fruit-laden branches as needed.

Growing Notes: Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost in consistently warm soil. Once frost danger has passed, transplant into fertile, well-drained soil in full sun. Water evenly and provide support as needed.

Note: Always wear protective gloves when handling or cutting these peppers to prevent severe capsaicin burns to the skin or eyes.
