Habaneros are known for their tropical flair – Caribbean sweet is their thing. So, too, for the Hot Paper Lantern, with a few distinct differences. The Hot Paper Lantern is a tropical-sweet habanero-type pepper with even bigger heat (150,000 to 400,000 Scoville heat units) than a common habanero (100,000 to 350,000 SHU.) And where traditional habaneros perform best in warmer climates, the Hot Paper Lantern boasts a shorter growing season, making it a perfect habanero for cooler Northern climates where the growing season is not as long.
