chilli 'Cayenne'
chillies or Capsicum annuum var. annuum (Longum Group) 'Long Red Cayenne'
A very hot variety of chilli which can bite back! The long red fruits are produced mid season and can be dried after harvesting, or ground to make cayenne pepper. It forms a bushy plant with lots of branches and small leaves.
How to care for chilli Cayenne:
Grow on in a well-lit, warm location such as a sunny windowsill or greenhouse until all risk of frost has passed before moving them to their final growing positions outside, in a sunny spot, or keep in a greenhouse for earlier harvests and hotter fruits. Keep well watered and feed regularly with high-potash tomato food once the fruits begin to form.
