The Caribbean Red Hab was introduced by Seminis Vegetable
(formerly Petoseed) a couple of years ago. If you look hard enough
at my web site there is an image taken by Tom O'hara of this list. It
is not the Red Savina which was introduced by GNS Spices and is
protected by a patent..
According to Seminis, Caribbean Red tested at about 375K
Scoville Units vs. an Orange Hab at about 200K.
Like most Seminis pepper varieties, Caribbean Red is sold by
several seed companies including Burpees and mine.
For 2000, Seminis is introducing a new hybrid Bell called Blushing
Beauty. It is an All America 2000 selection and will probably be in
most seed catalogs. I trialed it this year and the wotten wabbits ate
it. I did send seeds to several people and their results will help me
determine whether to add it to my on-line catalog.
