Habanero Peppers are considered to be one of the hottest edible Chile in the world. The heat of the Habanero Chile Pepper usually ranges between 100,000-350,000 Scoville units! The habanero plant grows best when started indoors in most regions of the United States. Habanero Pepper thrive in hot weather and do well in an area with good morning sun and soil that is slightly acidic. The habanero is a perennial flowering plant, meaning that with proper care and growing conditions, it can produce flowers and fruit for many years. In temperate climates, though, it is treated as an annual, dying each winter and being replaced the next spring.
