Pepper, Magnum Habanero

Magnum equates to a larger size than "usual".  That's probably not the dictionary version, but it's our version.  

'Magnum Habanero' is a beautiful, vigorous plant that is tall and multi branched, yielding a profusion of  2-3" long bonnet shaped bright orange peppers.  Very productive, with each plant producing up to 100 fruits (this is where the magnum comes from)! As with all hot peppers, it takes time to mature so plant early as possible and protect from cold and frost.  Magnum Habanero is an improved early-maturing variety. 

Favorite Plant Color Combos: 

• Magnum Habanero Pepper + Purple Basil 
• Magnum Habanero Pepper + Gold Medal Tomato
• Magnum Habanero Pepper + Peppapeach Stripey Pepper

Peppers thrive in full sun and well draining, fertile soil.  Mulch at the base of the plant to retain soil moisture throughout the growing season.   

• Days to Harvest: 80 (green), 100 (orange) 
• Companion Plants: Basil, Beans, Calendula, Cilantro, Parsley, Tomatoes
• Open Pollinated (OP) 
• Plant Spacing: 12 - 18"
