Cayenne Pepper
Cayenne Peppers are named after the city of Cayenne, the capital of French Guiana, where Spanish explorers first discovered it. The 4-foot tall plants are bushy, and the peppers are moderately hot and spicy, measuring 30,000 to 50,000 Scoville units.
HUGE yields on this short, upright plant and will keep producing until the first freeze. Peppers ripen from green to red. Great to use pickled, dried, and crushed whole, making chili oil and sweet chili sauce.
Interplant with basil, marigolds, calendula, onions, garlic, chives, thyme, rosemary, and oregano to improve flavor, increase harvest, repel harmful pests, and attract beneficial insects like bees and ladybugs.
Starter will be in a 4" reusable nursery pot.
