'Cayenna' pepper may be used in the kitchen raw, frozen or dried.

The annual pepper (Capsicum annuum) likes warm surroundings and its seeds germinate best at temperatures between 20 and 25ºC. Seedlings need to be pricked out once. As soon as they would have developed 6 true leaves you may transplant them to the permanent site, possibly into a plastic foil tunnel. The cultivar offered in our store is productive, yet sensitive to lack of water and therefore needs daily watering during periods of drought. It will yield rich rich and uniform crops under all conditions on sites with a permeable, humous soil with high water capacity.
