'Hot Paper Lantern' habanero pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Hot Paper Lantern') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. The peppers reach maturity in 70 days, and birds visit the plant. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal.
