Datil Pepper Plant Start

A wildly popular pepper from St. Augustine, Florida. Plants boast vivid orange-yellow fruits about 3.5in long. Heat is comparable to a habanero, coming in at 100,000-300,000 Scoville units, however the datil is known for having, sweeter, more fruity notes than the habanero.

All plant starts are grown in OASIS® 1.5″ x 1.5″ grow cubes until they reach approximately 4″ to 6″ in height. Plants are only stocked and made available for shipping once both the plant and root system are strong enough to withstand transit.

We do not accept pre-orders at this time.

Harvest: 100-150 Days

Sun: Full Sun

Pairs Well With:

Eggplants – Peppers and eggplants demand similar growing conditions making them quite a strong pairing

Beans, peas – Peppers are heavy feeders and pairing with legume varieties that enrich the soil will do them well

Lettuce, salad mix – These low-to-the-ground varieties both maximize garden space and are light feeders, complimenting both pepper’s size and tendency to pull a lot of nutrients from the soil

Marigolds – a repellent for some of the pests that bother peppers
