Caribbean Red question

seeker · March 2, 2014

A friend of mine asked me to start some habeneros for him this year. I picked up a pack of Caribbean Red seeds. But when I got home and looked them up, I read that Caribbean Reds are much hotter (like twice as hot) as regular orange habeneros. Can anyone tell me if that's true? I know that the orange habeneros are at the limits of his heat tolerance, so should I scrap the Caribbean Reds and try to find different seeds? Anyone want to trade?
Thanks,
Paula
