Scotch Bonnet Yellow is a very very hot pepper with strong aroma that gets its name from the Scottish hat it resembles.
The Scotch Bonnet chillies measure 2.5-4cm long by 2.5-3cm wide and they mature from a lovely pale green to yellow. It is a short bushy plant that reaches about 50cm tall and looks ‘fab’ in containers. Scotch Bonnets mature late (late Aug/Sept) therefore sow early to ensure it produces high yields.
The chillies are best fresh but this thin-walled variety can also be frozen/pickled or put in olive oil very successfully.
This is not one for the ‘faint hearted’ but great for chilli heads!
