A sweet take on the classic Caribbean pepper, Sweet Bonnet shares the traditional tam o’shanter shape of Scotch Bonnet peppers. The flesh is tropical sweet with a smoky start and only a hint of heat. Much milder than a jalapeño, it works beautifully in mild Caribbean recipes, marinades, or salsas. Summer growing season; 80–90 days to maturity. Container friendly.Category: Peppers
