Pepper Cayenne Long Red

Grow Fiery Cayenne Long Red Chili Peppers

Experience the intense heat of Pepper Cayenne Long Red (*Capsicum annuum*), a classic hot chili pepper renowned for its use as a potent spice, often sold in powdered form. With a Scoville heat unit rating between 30,000 and 50,000, the Cayenne Long Red packs a significant punch, making it approximately twelve times hotter than a jalapeño.

If you enjoy adding a fiery kick to your culinary creations or crafting your own homemade spices, this is a must-grow variety.

To cultivate these hot peppers, start seeds indoors in a warm environment about 8 to 10 weeks before you plan to transplant them outdoors. Sow the seeds 1/4 inch deep and 2 inches apart in a seed starting mix. Maintain consistent moisture in the soil, ensuring it’s damp but not waterlogged.

Once the seedlings have developed 2 to 3 sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots or deep flats to allow for continued growth.

When warm, summery weather arrives, gradually acclimate the young plants to outdoor conditions before transplanting them into rich, well-drained soil, spacing them 2 to 3 feet apart to allow for ample growth.
