Pepper Cayenne

Fiery Heat, Endless Versatility

The Cayenne is a kitchen staple and garden showstopper. These long, slender red peppers pack serious heat and a bold, pungent flavour that's essential in hot sauces, spice blends, and cuisines from around the world. Dry them, grind them, or use them fresh — the possibilities are endless.

Why You'll Love It

• High heat (30,000–50,000 Scoville units) — a true chili lover's pepper
• Abundant yields of long, slender fruits that ripen from green to vivid red
• Perfect for drying, grinding into cayenne powder, or making hot sauce
• Ornamental as well as edible — stunning in the garden and on the plate

Growing Tips

Plant in full sun after the last frost. Cayenne peppers thrive in warm conditions with consistent watering. Stake taller plants for support. Harvest green for milder heat or wait for full red ripeness for maximum flavour and fire.

Sold as a starter plant, ready to transplant into your garden or container.
