15 seeds from our plants in Berlin. Golden-yellow habaneros with thick flesh and a fruity flavour, ready for your next sauce experiment.

Origin and breeding

The Big Sun Habanero is a large, golden-yellow variety of Capsicum chinense, originally developed in West Africa. Known for its thick flesh, high productivity, and tropical flavor, it has become a popular choice for both fresh consumption and hot sauce making. Its vibrant color and reliable heat make it a standout among habaneros.

Growing in our Berlin setup

• We start these indoors from November to January in Berlin, using grow lights and a heating mat. Adjust the timing to your climate and setup. We use nursery trays or 5×5×5 cm pots.
• Use light, well-draining seed-starting soil.
• Soil temp: 26 to 30 °C, Air temp: 22 to 28 °C, Humidity: >60%.
• Use a humidity dome + heating mat.
• Provide 12 to 16 hours of light daily.
• Add airflow with a fan after germination.

Flavour and heat

Tropical fruit, citrus and a hint of garlic, followed by a sharp burn. Good for fresh use or hot sauce.

Estimated heat: 250,000 to 350,000 SHU.

Our peppers haven’t been lab-tested for Scoville heat.

We grow each variety ourselves before offering the seeds, and save seeds from peppers that best match the variety. Our plants are open-pollinated, so you may still see some variation in the peppers you grow.
