Lemon Starrburst Pepper Seeds

🌟 Lemon Starrburst Pepper Seeds – Bright Citrus Flavor with Serious Heat

Meet the Lemon Starrburst pepper (often listed as KS Lemon Starrburst) a vibrant, eye-catching hybrid chili that brings both show-garden appeal and high-end heat to your pepper patch. Created by breeder Khang Starr as a cross between the Bahamian Goat pepper and the MOA Scotch Bonnet, this Capsicum chinense variety features bold lemon-yellow pods in saucer/flying-saucer shapes, occasionally with the signature little “tail” seen in bonnet types.

These plants grow vigorously, often reaching over 3-4 ft tall,  and produce heavy yields of brightly colored pods. The flavor shines with a citrus-fruity brightness, followed by a serious habanero/bonnet-level kick (estimated around 100,000–200,000 Scoville Heat Units. Check our our Raised Garden Bed selection to give your Lemon Starrburst plants the room and stability they need for heavy fruit loads. 

Whether you’re making high-impact hot sauces, drying for flavorful powder, or adding ornamental flair to your garden, Lemon Starrburst offers both performance and personality.
