Chili Red Hot Pepper

A small, intensely hot pepper, Bonnie Plants® Chili Red Hot Pepper packs a punch with a 35,000 to 40,000 Scoville Heat Units measurement. The fruits of the chili red hot pepper plant change from green to red as they ripen, leading to colorful clusters that look as good as they taste. These live plants can be planted at a container depth with plants spaced 18-24 inches apart to provide them with the room they need to grow. Stake plants (or use cages) so that the plants can grow straight and strong. Plants grow best in areas that receive full sun for at least six hours a day. When mature, the plants will be prolific with fruits that are 2.5 inches long. Maturity is reached in 75 days. When harvesting fruits from your vegetable garden, use shears or a sharp knife to avoid damaging the plant. These peppers are hot, so wear gloves when handling. Use Miracle-Gro® Soil and Plant Food to grow Bonnie Plants® Chili Red Hot Pepper plants and enjoy your best harvest yet.
