Stanleys Greenhouse super hot peppers

11 years ago

I bought a couple pepper plants at the beginning of the season, one labeled Carolina reaper, the other trinadad scorpion. It turns out both of these are red habanaros. Has anyone else bought any of these? I called them up , they were very nice and said I could come by and get somthing else, but I will wait till next spring, she did tell me she hasn't heared from anyone else but she only works part time

    I just looked that up... looks like just off the last exit of James White. Nope, never been there. A bit too far for me. I grew everything from seed this year, and other family got theirs from Lowes, Home Depot, and I think Ramsey's in Morristown.

    I called Stanleys back to see what kind of habanero peppers I have , was wondering if they were just red or red savinas ( I guess there's a difference) I don't think carrabbean , these have big pods. Anyways they tolde they only carried orange habaneros so it must have been a issue with there seed supplier. They told me they would give me credit to new plants. Just received a credit for 20 bucks, more than what I bought them for . I would say great customer service and I will shop there more often

    Stanley's has always been an A+ nursery. OT: They're also the best (mostly the only, lol) source for Austin roses in east TN.

    It would be good if you looked up these peppers before you bought them as they are supposed to be very hot.

    I did look up these peppers before I bought them, the reason I bought them was to grow some of the hottest peppers ever. The red habs have produced like crazy but I really don't care for the taste. I will try stanleys out again in the spring but will also get some plants online

    Sorry I misunderstood.

    I don't care for the flavor of habanaros. I've had habanaro sauces that were ok, but instead of eating them straight, I like hot peppers added to my food as a vegetable ingredient, and I rarely use the sauces. Habanaros bring the heat, but there are much better flavored peppers that do pretty much the same job.

    This year I grew an heirloom long cayenne that has produced well, has good flavor, and can be eaten fresh, dried, or frozen. They are hot enough for me lol. Another year I might try to find a thicker-walled hot pepper. Although this year started out slow for the peppers, they really came on during August.

    Saraintn, no prob.Rgreen, I think I saw some of those long cayennes posted on here in vegtables gardening , never knew cayennes could grow so long, look pretty wild. My habs I've been dehydrating ( got a bunch going on the deck now) I'm hoping they taste a little different after dried and turned into powder. I might try to make a sauce with pinapple or maby mango with the next batch I pick, anything to change the flavor some
