Chilli 'Chocolate Habanero'

A stunning member of the Habanero family!

Originating from Jamaica, the 'Chocolate Habanero' also known as Congo Black, weighs in at a fiercely hot 300-400,000 SHU. Ripening from emerald green to a gorgeous chocolate brown, these chillies will become a decorative addition to any garden.

The Chocolate Habanero has a rich, smoky flavour can add a dramatic finish to your favourite dish or a spicy addition to Jerk sauce. Harvesting from August to October you'll have plenty of chance to add some spice to your favourite summer and autumnal recipes.

Chilli plants can be grown on a patio or in a greenhouse, the must-have addition to any vegetable garden or allotment.

Growing Information

Using a good quality, moist seed compost, sow your seeds in a propagator and cover with 6mm (¼") compost. Place on a windowsill or in a greenhouse at approximately 21-24°C (70-75°F) to germinate, usually 7-14 days. Transfer seedlings into 7.5cm (3") pots and grow on. Once they are 15cm (6") tall, transfer to 25cm (10") pots of John Innes No.3 and keep on a warm, sunny windowsill or greenhouse (once warm enough).

Sowing Information

Using a quality, moist seed compost, sow seeds in a propagator and cover with 6mm (1?4") compost. Place on a windowsill or in a greenhouse at approx. 21-24°C (70-75°F) to germinate, usually 5-7 days. Transfer seedlings into 7.5cm (3") pots and grow on. Performs well in a large pot on a patio or most productive when grown in a greenhouse. Plant out in a sunny, sheltered position 50cm (20") apart after risk of frost has passed. Support your plants with a cane. Feed regularly with a proprietary fertiliser. Pick fruits green or red. Sowing- Cropping: 22 weeks.

Live Plants

Suttons strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

Prices include VAT where applicable.

We reserve the right to contact you and advise an additional charge where necessary and are happy to quote for carriage of specific products to more remote areas. Some items may not be available to all areas.

We reserve the right to revise any carriage charges in the event of carrier price increase or other unforeseen circumstances. We will always advise of the carriage charge before payment is taken.

All Suttons products should reach you in perfect condition, just as they left us. If you are dissatisfied in any way with their condition on arrival, please let us know within 14 days.
