The Capsicum chinense (Chili) Habanero Orange is one of the best-known and most popular habanero varieties. This chili is known for its bright orange fruits, intense heat, and fruity, tropical aromas. Habanero Orange combines spectacular color with a robust flavor, making it a real eye-catcher in both the vegetable garden and the kitchen. This variety is ideal for experienced gardeners and culinary enthusiasts who enjoy spicy, aromatic peppers.
The Habanero Orange belongs to the Capsicum chinense species, native to the Caribbean and Mexico. The fruits are small to medium, bell-shaped and slightly curved, with a length of 3–5 cm. The skin is smooth and firm, and the fruits ripen from green to a bright, vibrant orange.
The distinctive feature of this chili is its high heat (approximately 250,000–350,000 Scoville units) combined with a distinctly fruity aroma with notes of citrus, tropical fruit, and floral notes. This unique combination makes Habanero Orange ideal for culinary applications where both heat and flavor are paramount.
The Capsicum chinense Habanero Orange grows into a strong, medium-to-large plant, 70–120 cm tall. The plant is vigorously branched and produces an abundance of flowers that develop into the characteristic orange fruits.
Optimal growing conditions:
Sowing: February–April indoors
Germination temperature: 25–28°C for fast and uniform germination
Prick out: when there are 2-3 true leaves
Plant out: after the last frost, mid-May or later
Location: sunny, warm and sheltered; greenhouse or conservatory promotes fruit formation
Soil: fertile, airy and well-drained; organic fertilizers encourage healthy growth
Habanero Orange needs a long growing season and is sensitive to cold. Regular watering, fertilizing, and possibly supporting branches when the plant is heavily laden ensures optimal growth and fruit production.
