Description
The Hot Paper Lantern is an elongated habanero hybrid developed in the USA, producing large, distinctive lantern-shaped pods with a thin skin that earned its evocative name. Ripening from green to vivid orange-red, its pods are significantly longer and more productive than standard habaneros while delivering the same intense tropical heat and fruity, floral flavor. An All-America Selections award winner, it is popular for fresh use, hot sauce making, and drying thanks to its generous pod size and prolific yields.
