Scotch Bonnet Pepper Seeds – Papa Dreadie Select

Discover the legacy of Papa Dreadie Select, a carefully bred Scotch Bonnet variety with deep Caribbean roots. This special pepper was cultivated by the late Erin Mason, a passionate chilehead, musician, and longtime member of TheHotPepper forum. His journey began in Jamaica in the early 1980s, where he immersed himself in Reggae culture and sought out the finest Scotch Bonnet peppers from local growers.

Through years of careful selection, Erin refined a true-to-form Scotch Bonnet—bold in heat, unmistakably fruity, and shaped like the traditional Scottish tam cap. Unlike modern hybrids, Papa Dreadie Select stays true to its Jamaican heritage, delivering the classic aroma, flavor, and fiery kick that make Scotch Bonnets legendary in Caribbean cuisine.

These rare Scotch Bonnet pepper seeds produce vigorous, high-yielding plants with pods that ripen to a rich yellow-orange hue. Their signature fruity heat enhances jerk marinades, hot sauces, and authentic island dishes.

Why is Papa Dreadie Select the best Scotch Bonnet?

✔ True Jamaican Scotch Bonnet genetics – No hybrids, just pure, time-tested lineage.
✔ Intensely aromatic & flavorful – The perfect balance of fruitiness and heat.
✔ Hand-selected for superior quality – A legacy strain, carefully preserved.
