This pepper is highly fragrant, with floral and tropical aromas of citrus, pineapple, and even watermelon. It is a large habanero-like pepper, growing up to 2" long and 1 1/2" wide, with bright yellow fruit that has a blocky, roughly pendant shape. The fruits have a mildly fruity and aromatic flavor and are often used for seasoning due to their low heat level. This is a desirable and rare variety. All peppers are organically grown and are either heirloom or open-pollinated. 

Start seeds indoors or, in climate with short growing seasons, outdoors at least one week after last frost. If starting indoors, allow 7 to 10 weeks for the seeds to mature into seedlings large enough to transplant safely. Fertilize when the blooms appear, and water well. Fruit is most nutritious if allowed to ripen on the plant.

Soak seeds
Pepper seeds can be soaked in water at room temperature for a maximum of 24 hours in order to speed up the germination process.

Sow seeds indoors ¼" deep. Peppers germinate best in warm soil, so gentle bottom heat may be helpful until seedlings emerge. Wait to transplant outdoors until soil is warm.
Pepper seeds come from tropical, humid regions and require proper temperature, moisture, and air circulation for optimal growth. Avoid using jiffy peat pots, plugs, or potting soil as they can cause problems with moisture levels and lead to disease and fungus. Organic Seed Starting Material is recommended for optimal germination results..

When to move outside
Place plants outside where they will receive wind protection and a couple hours of sunlight. Gradually increase the amount of sunlight over a week or two. Bring them indoors if night temperatures drop below 55°F

Many pepper enthusiast grow peppers in pots so they can have fresh peppers all year long. It’s best to use 5 gallon containers so the roots do not get too over-crowded
