Seeds - Scotch Bonnet

Variety characteristics:

• Heat range: 100.000–350.000 SHU (medium to high heat).
• Phenotype: typical “bonnet” shape — flattened, wrinkled and rounded, highly aromatic with fruity, tropical notes.
• Growing period: 90–120 days, the plant requires warmth and consistent lighting during cultivation.

Origin and purity:

• Seeds are not isolated; possibility of natural cross-pollination around 5%.
• In practice, this means that a small proportion of plants may deviate from the original phenotype, which is common with open-pollinated varieties.

Germination:

• Under ideal conditions, around 70% on average.
• Optimal conditions: temperature 27–30 °C, constant moderate substrate moisture without waterlogging.

Suitable for:

• Growers seeking aromatic, fruity and medium-hot peppers, while accepting the minimal variability typical of non-isolated seeds.
