Overview
Fatali, more often spelled Fatalii, is a habanero-type chile from Africa with golden-yellow, top-shaped pods about 1 by 3 inches. Plants grow 24 to 30 inches. Like other Capsicum chinense it is very hot with a citrusy note, and it needs a long season, about 90 days from transplant, so start seed early with bottom heat and plant out only into warm soil. Popular for bright yellow hot sauces.
