Bring bold Caribbean flavor to your garden with Yellow Scotch Bonnet peppers. This fiery variety pairs intense heat with sweet, tropical fruitiness and distinctive wrinkled pods shaped like a Scottish bonnet. Fruits ripen from green to brilliant yellow, adding vibrant color and unmistakable flavor to hot sauces, jerk seasonings, and island-inspired dishes. With a heat range of approximately 100,000–350,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), these peppers are best enjoyed by true heat lovers.
Germination: Approximately 10–21 days in warm soil.
Maturity: Approximately 90–120 days after transplanting, depending on growing conditions.
Genus: Capsicum chinense.
Quantity: 20 Premium Heirloom Seeds.
Appearance: Compact, wrinkled, bonnet-shaped peppers measuring about 1–2 inches across ripen from green to bright yellow.
Flavor & Uses: Sweet, fruity flavor meets powerful heat—ideal for Caribbean-style hot sauces, jerk seasonings, salsas, and marinades. Use sparingly to suit your heat preference.
Growth Habit: Bushy, warm-season plants thrive in a long, sunny growing season. Stake plants as needed to support branches carrying developing peppers.
Growing Notes: Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last spring frost in a warm, moist seed-starting mix. Harden off seedlings before transplanting after frost danger has passed and nights are consistently warm. Choose full sun and fertile, well-draining soil. Keep soil evenly moist, not waterlogged, and harvest when peppers are fully yellow and firm.
