Jamaican Scotch Bonnet Pepper Garden Seeds
Capsicum chinense
The Scotch Bonnet Pepper delivers a fiery kick, comparable to the habanero, but with a uniquely fruity, sometimes smoky flavor. Occasionally called Scotty Bon or Bonny Pepper, its name comes from its resemblance to a Scottish tam (bonnet). Beyond the kitchen, Scotch Bonnet Peppers can also serve as a companion plant in the garden, where their strong aroma may help deter certain pests when grown alongside other crops. This pepper balances intense heat with a citrusy, apricot-like sweetness, especially when fully ripened to red. A staple in Caribbean cuisine, it’s perfect for jerk seasoning, hot sauces, and fruit-based salsas. With a Scoville rating of 100,000 to 325,000, it’s not for the faint of heart!

New Garden Seeds Have Landed
Carefully selected heirloom garden seeds bred for healthy plants and standout results.
Our Garden Seeds are rooted in real world growing. These plants are grown on our farm alongside our cannabis crops and are chosen for their companion planting benefits and uniqueness. Many of these seeds come from our travels, and we wanted to share our current favorites for home gardens and small farms. Each variety reflects what is thriving here now and supports healthy garden ecosystems. Supplies are limited as we grow and share these seeds in small batches.
Current selections include: Marigold, Aztec Nicotiana, Hollyhock, Calendula, Bowling Ball Poppy, Jamaican Scotch Bonnet Pepper, San Marzano Tomato, and Yarrow.
