Scotch Bonnet

Scotch Bonnet Chilli Seeds. The Scotch Bonnet is a great alternative to the Habanero chilli. Also nicknamed Scotty Bons, Bonney Peppers or Caribbean Reds, these peppers have a searing heat and deliciously piquant and seet flavour. Great growers in the garden and good producers, these are a great chilli for any budding chillihead.

* The container sizes above are sugested sizes that are reasonable and accessible for most growers (taking price, space, ecological/environmental impact into consideration). Not everyone can look at growing in huge containers. If you can justify growing in larger containers  - there are no limitations on container sizes. You may however, rather look at growing in soil as an option in these instances. Using large amounts of potting medium will come with ecological/environmental impact, which you may wish to take into consideration.
