#1 Habanero A very obvious choice, but for a reason... In talking with many pepper enthusiasts, we've found the Habanero to be universally considered to be one of the best tasting peppers. It's flesh holds up to and absorbs smoking well. The smoked hab is a key (secret) ingredient in our Chili cook-off entries. The plant does best in a larger pot, branches vigorously and produces a high density of nice-sized fruit. It also appears to be one of the oldest domesticated peppers, and for awhile, (when it was lumped in with its close relatives) was considered the world's hottest pepper. #2 Hot Lemon Fruity flavor with heat, though at around 50k Scovilles, not overpowering. Plant grows to a nice size and does well in a medium to large container. It tends to naturally bush out and produce a high density of long, yellow fruit. In addition to having a great flavor in a generally tolerable heat range, it's also an attractive, eye-catching plant. Its medium-sized end-cap holds up to string drying relatively well. We like to dry these out and grind them into a powder, which pairs well with chicken and seafood. We also like to use fresh, in thin-slices, to give a little bite to a classic martini. #3 Fury This is one of our accidental hybrids. We planted seeds taken from a white ghost and ended up with a shorter, squat pepper of decent size, high heat and a really cool orange color. We believe that a nearby Yellow Trinidad Scorpion crossed with the White Ghost to produce this variety. Additionally, this plant tends to branch out vigorously, producing a large plant with dense foliage and fruit. The fruit density and size, make this a high yielding plant that produces a lot of bang for the buck. Also one of our favorite tasting peppers that packs a lot of heat (probably around 200-350k SHU). We grown this variety out four generations, and currently have a bunch of seedlings where we hope one of them will have the characteristics to become our official fifth generation (5G) plant. #4 Datil The official pepper of St. Augustine, Florida. Go there and you'll find many restaurants proudly feature this pepper which has been a part of the city's heritage for over a century. They even have an annual Datil Pepper Festival in October, with the first Saturday in October being Datil Pepper Day. The festival aims to encourage the cultivation of the Datil pepper in the St. Augustine area. Good heat (100k-300k SHU) and great flavor. Does best in a medium to large pot and produces a respectable yield. #5 Ghost Pepper Also known as Bhut Jolokia. Probably one of the most popular varieties of chile peppers and for good reason. It's blazing! Up to a few years ago, it held the world's record for being the hottest. Using in extreme moderation is most definitely encouraged (except for those select few – if you're unsure, it's probably not you), but the flavor is outstanding. Additionally, this plant likes to grow large and produce large fruit in high quantities. Plant in a large pot with lots of sun and you’ll be amply rewarded.

#6 Jalapeno Or Ja-lap-en-os, as we sometimes like to affectionately refer to them, is another obvious choice. Though, it deserves recognition as it likely holds the title of being the most well-known and commonly used spicy pepper in the western hemisphere. And, if that's not enough, it was the first chile pepper in space! We prefer to let ours turn red which results in a sweeter taste with more heat. And, as a chipotle pepper (peppers allowed to turn red, then smoked) it truly rocks! Our main complaint is we typically don't have a lot of luck in getting good fruit density or yield out of our Jalapenos. In our research, these are said to do better in hot, dry climates and our Georgia summers are quite humid. Anyone know a variety?

#7 Shishito Unlike the peppers before it on this list, the Shishito lacks significant heat. But, that doesn't stop us from loving this pepper. It has a nice fruit density and flavor with an added bonus of one of every 3-5 peppers providing a surprise with a slight burst of heat. These can be enjoyed while still green or when it fully ripens to a bright red color. Blanched with olive oil and kosher salt, this makes an extra-nice and easy to make appetizer or side that almost anyone can enjoy! A medium pot will usually suffice for this plant. #8 Malaysian Goronong Another one of our favorite peppers with a nice, thick skin for smoking. A larger growing pepper that prefers a larger pot and will reward you with abundant number of large, interesting looking fruit. Has a great flavor! #9 White Habanero (or White Hab) Picking the hundreds of smallish white peppers from this plant is somewhat tedious; however, it does make an awesome pepper powder that provides a good, clean heat that'll compliment a dish without changing its flavor. Being white colored, it's also a safe additive for spicing up a white sauce. #10 Manzano So much potential, a big fruit with thick flesh that produces lots of bang for the harvesting effort. If we could only find a way to get our plants to produce a higher density of fruit. This pepper is said to enjoy cooler growing conditions, so our southeast climate might be just a little too hot. That said, it’s a truly unique plant that will stand apart from your other peppers. Part of the Pubescens species. It has hairy leaves and grows round peppers that are slightly larger than a golf ball. It ripens red or orange – the red ones resemble an apple when ripe. It’s about 4 times hotter than a Jalapeno. If you’re in a climate that doesn't have hard freezes during the winter, you can trellis this plant and it will last many years, growing quite large.

#11 Carolina Reaper For anyone who considers themselves a die-hard Chile-head, if not already grown, this one should be the pepper bucket list. At 2.2 million SHU it currently holds the world’s record as the hottest pepper. It's blazing hot and when turned into a powder a small amount goes a looonng way (you've been warned)! We just wish we wouldn't lose so many of their fruits to a yet unidentified pest that enjoys(?) eating that tiny signature tail off of the pepper, or a small hole in the side, before it can fully ripen. We usually get our best production from this plant toward the end of the growing season when the birds/insects (or whatever) become less active. The plant can get large and does best in a large pot.
