Red Savina Habanero Pepper Plant Seedlings

Red Savina Habanero Peppers are rich in history! Frank Garcia of GNS Spices in Walnut, California, is the creator of this hot pepper. Legend has it that he was plowing under a field of orange Habaneros after his buyer withdrew his proposed buying price, rather than selling at a low price. While plowing, he spotted one red pepper among the orange habaneros, saved the plant, and the rest is history! It is one of the only vegetables to be officially protected by the U.S. government under the Plant Variety Protection Act. Not only that, it used to be the hottest chili in the world until the Bhut Jolokia became the new winner! This pepper held the World’s Hottest Guinness record for 12 years (1994 to 2006).

The Red Savina Habanero Plant produces around 50 peppers of great flavor and consistent heat and provides reliable growing results. The Red Savina pepper is a very flavorful habanero, providing a sweet and fruity heat and a hint of smokiness that distinguishes it from the rest of the Habanero pack. Just make sure to wash your hands afterward if touching them raw.
