Days to Maturity: 75 days from transplant
Searching for a hot pepper variety with bold heat, high yields, and culinary versatility? Look no more—Cayenne Long Red Slim Pepper produces slender, glossy red peppers up to 5 to 6 inches long all summer. With a heat level ranging from 30,000 to 50,000 Scoville units, it's ideal for adding a fiery kick to sauces, salsa, and spice blends. The vigorous plants grow 18 to 24 inches tall and are known for their dependable performance, even in hot, humid conditions. Cayenne Long Red Slim Pepper also dries beautifully, making it a top choice for homemade chili powder, flakes, or stringing into decorative ristras.
This cayenne pepper is a kitchen staple and incredibly versatile in use. Harvest fresh for immediate use in cooking or allow fruits to fully ripen and dry on the plant for preservation. Perfect for pickling, dehydrating, or grinding into powder, it's a must-have for gardeners who enjoy preserving the harvest. It also adds ornamental value, with slender fruits ripening from green to vibrant red.
Start seeds indoors 8 to 10 weeks before your last frost date. Transplant outdoors after soil temperatures have warmed and all danger of frost has passed. Peppers thrive in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Space plants 18 to 24 inches apart. Cayenne Long Red Slim Pepper has moderate disease resistance and is tolerant of heat and humidity. Fruits mature about 70 to 75 days after transplant. With continuous production and bold flavor, it's a rewarding and essential addition to any pepper garden.
