Coming from Africa, these heirloom yellow Fatalii pepper seeds grow extremely well in hot weather areas. One can expect to feel the sting of the Fatalii pepper in the first bite. Unlike habaneros, this heat won't creep up on you slowly, and the burn is felt right away. The Fatalii pepper plant grows to about 3' tall and produces pepper pods around 1" long. The chili has a citrus flavor that deliciously complements any fish, chicken, veal dish, or salsa. The Fatalii peppers start pale green, and then mature to a bright yellow. Non-Isolated.
