The Variety

Habanada is a unique sweet pepper bred to deliver the full flavor and aroma of a habanero without the heat. Developed for chefs and home cooks alike, it captures everything people love about habaneros while remaining completely approachable.

Plants produce small, slightly wrinkled pods that ripen to a warm orange color and perform well in a variety of growing conditions.

Flavor & Heat

Habanada brings a rich, tropical flavor with citrusy and floral notes, identical to a traditional habanero but without the burn.

This makes it incredibly versatile in the kitchen — perfect for sauces, salsas, and cooking where you want bold flavor without overwhelming heat.

Garden Notes

Plant outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and temperatures are consistently warm. Like other Capsicum chinense varieties, Habanada prefers full sun, warm soil, and steady watering.

Plants are productive and benefit from a long, warm growing season. Suitable for garden beds, raised beds, and containers. Harvest when fruits reach full orange color for best flavor.

🌱 Before You Plant

🌱 Check Night Time Temps

Peppers are warm-season plants and need heat to thrive.

Do not plant outdoors until after the danger of frost has passed and nighttime temperatures stay consistently mild.

Planting too early can slow growth and delay your harvest. Give peppers full sun, warm soil, and a little patience — they’ll take off when the season is right.
