Capsicum chinense 'Hot Paper Lantern' - Hot Pepper

Earlier and much more productive in the North than regular habaneros. Magnificent, elongated and wrinkled, lantern-shaped fruits are 3-4" long. Bigger than our regular habaneros, they pack the same mouth-blistering heat. Tall plants put on a colorful display through the summer as the fruits change from bright lime green through shades of orange to scarlet red as they ripen.
