Helios is a bright orange hyrbid habanero variety with about 75,000 units on the scoville scale, so its not crazy hot but it does pack a punch. Plants are hardy and grow to be quite large, like small ornamental bushes dripping with little orange peppers. Hot peppers are perennials in our tropical climate and we have large plants that are years old and still fruiting.
