Helios is a bright orange hyrbid habanero variety with about 75,000 units on the scoville scale, so its not crazy hot but it does pack a punch. Plants are hardy and grow to be quite large, like small ornamental bushes dripping with little orange peppers. Hot peppers are perennials in our tropical climate and we have large plants that are years old and still fruiting.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
When you receive your plant its critical to get it out of its box and into the light the day it arrives. It will also want to be removed from its compostable plastic wrapping and given fresh water to drink. Keep in mind, this plant was grown in the tropical humid climate of South Florida, so if it's terribly cold or dry where you are it'll need to be hardened off before planting outdoors. Visit our care instructions page for more thorough info about caring for your new plant friend.
