Notes
'Hot Paper Lantern' habanero pepper (Capsicum chinense 'Hot Paper Lantern') is a vegetable for containers, food gardens, 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. Deer tend to pass it by. It produces earlier and more productively than regular habaneros.
Pairs well with Thai basil, Sungold tomato, and Scarlet runner.
