SKU: 331006190 days. Tabasco Hot Pepper is a popular and spicy variety of chili pepper that is commonly used in hot sauces and spicy dishes. These peppers grow to be small and slender, typically measuring around 1-2 inches in length.
Tabasco Hot Peppers are known for their signature heat, which can range from 30,000 to 50,000 Scoville units. This means that they are significantly hotter than jalapeño peppers, but not as hot as some of the spiciest chili peppers in the world.
These peppers are easy to grow and are typically grown as an annual in most climates. They prefer warm and sunny conditions, and should be planted in well-draining soil. With regular watering and fertilization, Tabasco Hot Peppers can produce an abundance of spicy peppers throughout the growing season.
Tabasco Hot Peppers can be used fresh in salsas, salads, and other spicy dishes. They can also be dried and ground into a powder for use as a spice in cooking and seasoning. And of course, they are a key ingredient in the famous Tabasco hot sauce, which has been a staple of the American condiment market for over 150 years.
Whether you're a fan of spicy foods or just looking to add a little heat to your garden, Tabasco Hot Pepper is a great choice.
Transplant only after night temperatures average above 55°F. Plants are tender and thrive in warm weather. Blossoms drop if temperatures fall below 60°F or if they get too much nitrogen.

I love hot food and hot peppers, but these Tabasco I find to be a painful kind of hot. They burn your lips and mouth and create a situation where it becomes painful to eat- especially if the food's temperature is also hot. As far as the plants go, the plants grow into a huge bush and start yellow then turn red at the very end of the season. They're a bit of a hassle to pick as there are so many and only the red ones release easily from the plant- without their stems, which I found would encourage rotting earlier than other types of peppers (Serano, for example) that come off with their stem.
