Habanero Golden, organic seeds
Eco
Information
A golden yellow Habanero with beautifully shining, approximately 6 cm long, plump, wrinkled fruits on a sturdy plant. The scent and aroma are typical of Habanero, with well-developed flavors of ripe fruit. The heat is intense (300,000-400,000 Scoville).
Habanero originates from the West Indies, where it is commonly used in dishes such as salsa sauces and marinades. It belongs to the species Capsicum chinense and requires more warmth and a longer period of precultivation than the common chili, C. annuum. It should be grown in greenhouse or as a potted plant. The more sun and heat it receives, the hotter the flavor.
One portion contains about 15 seeds.

Cultivation advice
Sowing
Sow indoors just under 1 cm deep 7-8 weeks before setting out, in January-March for cool green houses. The best germination temperature is 22-30°C. Let the plants stand in a light airy place and after sprouting preferably at a temperature of 18°C. After getting a few real leaves the sprouts should be planted in pots. The temperature can now be lowered further. Temper the plants successively before setting out. Do not set the plants outdoors before the risk of nightly frost is over and the nightly temperature keeps above 7°C! Plant them a little deeper than they were in the pots and never allow them to dry out. Do not hurry too much with your sowing if you do not have a really good "nursery".Seed
