Datil Pepper Seeds

Seed/Plant info: Datil peppers are BURSTING with fruity, hot goodness! Perfect for spicy salsas, sauces, and fabulous jellies! The Datil pepper is closely associated with the city of St. Augustine, Florida, and is known for its unique flavor and heat. Like Hatch peppers, the Datil pepper is tied to its home city more than most other peppers. St. Augustine has been the main source of Datil peppers for well over a century. It is believed that indentured workers from Minorca, Spain introduced the Datil pepper to St. Augustine in the late 1800s. Blazing hot, blunt little 3.5-inch fruit ripens to a brilliant orange yellow. The heat is vicious, being comparable to habanero types, but the flavor is more complex, sweeter, and more fruity. 100-300k SHUs. A must grow! 90+ days to harvest. Capsicum chinense.
