Hot Specialty Pepper

It’s getting hot in here. The Red Cayenne pepper is a bright red pepper great for homemade chili or any food that deserves a little pizzazz. This thin, 5-6” long, pointed pepper is very hot. It is excellent fresh, in sauces, or dried and ground into powder for a spicy condiment.  After harvest, you can string your cayenne peppers to dry and they will last throughout the year. Red Cayenne Pepper plants will grow to about 26” tall, love the sun, and do not like to be over watered. If you’re looking for an extended amount of Red Cayenne Pepper uses, they’re great for home décor!
