Heatless habanero is a new and popular pepper variety prized for its unique and citrusy flavor and lack of intense heat common in a habanero. Chefs have been experimenting with making hot sauces and dishes more focused on the pepper flavor than the pure heat and using this pepper for it. We think this pepper is great not just for its flavor but also for its plant characteristics. Bell peppers and many other sweet peppers are very challenging to grow here in South Florida, however hot peppers love it here. So this is the best of both worlds; sweet pepper flavor with hot pepper plant behavior.

Plant Care
Plant Care
When your plant delivery arrives, make sure you water your new plants thoroughly with a light spray of water (none of this thumb over the hose stuff). We recommend planting them within 10 days of receiving them. If you do intent to wait to plant them, we recommend placing them in a shallow reservoir (like a baking pan) and filling it with half an inch of water so they can drink the water from below while you are at work and place them in an area with plenty of sun. When planting in your garden always add a dash of Organic granular fertilizer, and give them extra water during their first week in their new home, while they adjust. We recommend disturbing the root ball as little as possible during planting.
