Description:
Do you live in a northern climate? Do you love super-hot peppers? If you answered, “yes” to both, then you gotta try the Hot Paper Lantern! Great for growing in northern climates, this pepper hails from Peru and is reminiscent of habanero peppers.
The pepper plants are fairly compact, reaching around 2 ft. tall, but they produce great yields of these bright orange fruits that grow between 2-4" long when ready to be picked. Pods are pendant-shaped with a thin stem, so be careful when picking that the plant isn't damaged. Hot Paper Lantern peppers will ripen from lime green to orange, and finally to their bright orange-red color.
Hot Paper Lantern peppers share that same habanero-type heat, but they tend to be slightly sweeter before the heat really kicks in, mixed with some light smokiness. This pepper also has a very thin skin which makes it great for drying. Use for seasoning, salsas, hot sauce and even roasting. Are you ready to handle the blistering heat from these peppers?
