Description

The listing, Jamaican Yellow Scotch Bonnet has ended.

Package of 15 seeds.

Scotch Bonnet peppers (or Bahamian, Bahama Mama, Jamaican Hot or Martinique Peppers) are EXTREMELY HOT and closely related to the Habanero but less common. The flavor is slightly different, which some people prefer. Like the Habanero, Scotch Bonnets are spherical, although more squashed in shape and smaller.

Native to the Caribbean, Scotch Bonnet Peppers can be found in green, yellow, orange, white, brown and red as well as multi-toned.This is the YELLOW variety which is even more difficult to find than the red variety and other varieties.

If auction goes over 800, will be coupled with additional varieties of hot peppers.

It's a real good color contrast in dishes. And it seems to me that this is hotter than the Red Savina, although I don't have any evidence outside of my opinion.

One should keep in mind, when choosing hot peppers, that their Scoville rating is just a potential of how hot it can get, not necessarily does. the pepper produces capsaicin (the hot stuff) as a defense against harm (being eaten). Sometimes you can love them too much! Lots of water, fertilizer, perfect sun/shade, will make the plant comfortable and unproductive. Try stressing your peppers by reducing the water cycle during mid to late fruit stage.

In a perfect world: Fertilize your peppers with a mix that is low in nitrogen, high in potassium, high in phosphorus. The nitrogen isn't so important, the pepper just doesn't absorb it (Beware! High nitrogen will cause "nutrient lock", stopping uptake of nutrients and starving in out). Potassium: Buy a potash additive or burn hardwood to ash in your barbeque, tilling either in to the soil before planting. Phosphorus: Buy Bone Meal or Bat Guano, Or till in banana peel if nothing else. As a matter of superstition, I plant a matchstick when the flowers drop!

I'm just way too excited about these peppers! We have about 30 hot pepper plants in our garden now. Last year we grew Ghost peppers. tom10mm had a stroke in Nov. 2010 and his taste buds were affected. He was eating the Ghosts out of the garden fresh. We also grow Mayan Peppers. He said they were hotter than the Ghosts.

We saw a video about some new hot peppers called Scorpian T's. they are supposed to be the worlds hotest peppers. You wouldn't happen to have some Scorpian T's would you????? This year we are growing Mayan's, Scotch Bonnets, Carribean Reds, Ring of Fire's, and Magnum Orange Hab's and several others... We use them in our Hot salsa that we make. We use tomatoes out of our garden as well as the peppers we grow. I make a mild salsa as well. Our salsa is a real creeper. It is a sweet salsa. I always tell people who are trying it for the first time, to wait for it. They will taste the salsa and say mmmmmmmmmmmmm that's good, not to hot. I tell them to just wait for it. And they do and it hits them like a brick on the head. LOL

Yup. Look for the Trinidad Moruga, AKA Trinidad Scorpion. I won't be putting any of those up until next season, Sorry! FYI, there is a strain TriMor called Butch T, named for the gentleman that made them popular. This is a less intense, sweeter variant.

We use SuperThrive and Smart Tea for our garden. We also got a 25 lb bag of bone meal. And we also use some other things... That we get from New Earth, a local organic shop. We love their Happy Frog and the Worm Castings. Love them and what they do for the garden!!!
