The Hot Paper Lantern is a habanero type. More productive and larger than regular habaneros, these elongated, pendant shaped fruits are 3-4″ long, but they pack the same mouth-blistering heat. They ripen from lime green to orange and finally to a bright scarlet red. These tall plants are strong and vigorous. The stem is thin and easily broken making it easy to pick the peppers without damaging the plant. The wall of the pepper very is thin, making them great for drying.
