Chilli Pepper ‘Paper Lantern’

More productive and earlier ripening than a standard habenero – you can expect fruits ready to pick up to a fortnight quicker. The fiery fruits (scoville rating of 250,000!) are 5-7cm long, mid green in colour turning an orangey red and finally a rosy red on full maturity. Paper Lantern is best grown in large pots or with two plants per growbag in the greenhouse for the earliest fruits, or in a sunny sheltered spot outdoors if you don’t mind waiting a little longer. Renowned for being blisteringly hot, Paper Lantern makes a tasty addition to hot sauces, salsas and soups – but it’s not for the faint hearted!
