The Habanero Chili is a great garden addition for the "pepper connoisseur". This is one of the most intensely spicy species of Chili Peppers. Unripe Habaneros are green, and they color as they mature.

The name Habenero comes from the Cuban city of La Habana (Havana, in English). Although the peppers did not originate there, they were frequently traded.

The Habenero Chili Pepper is believed to have originated in and around the Yucutan Peninsula. It was discovered by Early Europeans in that region and disseminated to other regions of the world. The Habenero was so common in China that 18th century taxonomists mistook China for its place of origin and called it “Capsicum Chinese” or “The Chinese Pepper”.

Although, Mexico is still the largest consumer of this very spicy pepper, it is becoming increasingly popular all over the world. Today, Habeneros are produced in Belize, Panama, Costa Rica, Texas, Idaho and California.

The heat of the Habenero makes it a popular ingredient in salsas, hot sauces and spicy foods. Sometimes Habeneros are placed in bottles of Taquila or Mezcal to make a spiced version of the drink.

Habeneros do best in hot weather and , specifically, in areas with good morning sun. Water these peppers only when they are dry. Over watering will produce bitter tasting peppers.

Habeneros also do well as a container plant.
