Tabascos rate from 30,000 to 50,000 on the Scoville scale of heat levels, and are the only variety of chili pepper whose fruits are "juicy"; i.e., they are not dry on the inside. Tabasco fruits, like all other members of the C. frutescens species remain upright when mature, rather than hanging down from their stems.
Tabasco peppers (Capsicum frutescens) not only lend their name to the famous hot sauce, they serve as an easy-to-grow plant for outdoor gardens and indoor containers alike. These bushy members of the Solanaceae family flourish in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 2 through 9, where they flower from late summer to early fall. With the signature bright red fruits of the Tabasco pepper plant, you can make your own zesty homemade sauces, dips and spices.
