The Habanero is a hot variety of the chili pepper. Unripe habaneros are green, and they color as they mature. The most common color variants are orange and red, but the fruit may also be white, brown, yellow, green, or purple. Typically, a ripe habanero is 2–6 centimetres long.

The Red variety is probably the most common in the UK and I get a great crop of these fruits most years.  If you are new to growing the hotter varieties the red habanero is a great place to start.
