Chilli Habanero Mixed Seeds
$4.20
Unit price perCapsicum chinense
Habanero Mixed is a colourful blend of intensely hot Capsicum chinense chillies producing lantern-shaped fruits that begin dark green before ripening through a mixture of orange, red and yellow. The combination of colours creates an impressive display on productive, branching plants.
Habaneros are prized not simply for their heat but for their distinctive fruity, almost tropical aroma and flavour. The ripe fruits are excellent used fresh in hot sauces, salsas, marinades and Caribbean-style dishes, or can be pickled, preserved or thoroughly dried for chilli flakes and powders. A little goes a very long way.
Habanero chillies originated in the Americas and are particularly associated with Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. Despite the name, which means “from Havana”, the Habanero has a much deeper botanical and culinary history centred around the Yucatán Peninsula and surrounding regions.
As a Capsicum chinense, Habanero generally requires a longer, warmer growing season than common Capsicum annuum varieties. Plants thrive in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil and consistent moisture and can continue growing as short-lived perennials in warm, frost-free climates.
Approximately 20 seeds per packet
Heat: Very hot
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: Most of the year
Subtropics: Late winter to spring
Mild climates: Late winter to spring, preferably started under protection
Cold climates: Start indoors in late winter to early spring and transplant after all danger of frost
Planting / Sowing
Sow approximately 5 mm deep into trays or pots and keep warm and consistently moist. A soil temperature of approximately 25–30°C will encourage germination. Capsicum chinense can be slower to germinate than many other chillies, so maintain steady warmth and allow several weeks for emergence.
Transplant seedlings once conditions have warmed, spacing approximately 45–60 cm apart in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Maintain consistent moisture during flowering and fruit development.
Harvest fruits green if desired or allow them to ripen fully to their mature orange, red or yellow colour for the richest flavour and aroma. Wear gloves when cutting or preparing ripe Habaneros and avoid contact with the eyes and other sensitive areas.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.
