Wild West Organics 'Red ' habanero pepper seeds were hand harvested from my organically grown and carefully nurtured red habanero pepper plants. They are located in my sunny Arizona garden plot that generally receive dry, warm to very hot daytime temperatures and cool to warm nighttime temperatures.The average annual temperature is 70.9 F. The Red Habanero pepper plant can grow up to 4 to 5 feet in height (48-60 inches) when raised in a garden, and about 1.5 to 2 feet in height (18-24 inches) when grown in a suitable container. Be careful not to overwater. Let the habanero plant dry out first before watering again. Over-watering leads to bitter-tasting peppers.
