Sweet Yellow Habanero Pepper Seeds | Premium Open-Pollinated Heirloom Variety

Sweet Yellow Habanero is a distinctive chili pepper with the tropical, citrusy flavor of a traditional habanero but little to no heat. Its crisp, deeply fruity pods measure just 0–850 Scoville Heat Units, compared with up to 300,000 SHU for standard habaneros. The wrinkled, lantern-shaped peppers ripen from light green to sunny yellow on compact, bushy plants that grow 2–3 feet tall. Use them in salsas, salads, sauces, and garnishes for bright habanero flavor without intense spice.

Germination: 7–21 days

Maturity: 80–90 days after Transplanting

Genus: Capsicum annuum

Quantity: 25 Premium Heirloom Seeds

Appearance: Wrinkled, lantern-shaped peppers mature from light green to bright, sunny yellow.

Flavor & Uses: Sweet, citrusy, and deeply fruity with crisp flesh and very mild heat; ideal for salsas, salads, sauces, and garnishes.

Growth Habit: Compact, bushy plants grow 2–3 feet tall and are well suited to containers, raised beds, and garden plots.

Growing Notes: Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost. After frost, transplant into warm, rich, well-draining soil in full sun. Space plants 18–24 inches apart, water consistently at the base, and avoid waterlogged soil.

Harvest Note: Harvest the peppers light green for a fresher flavor or wait until they turn bright yellow for full sweetness and fruitiness. Cut the stems to avoid damaging the plant.
