Chilli Pepper - Cayenna - Bold heat with rich flavour and aroma - Fresh Seeds

The Cayenna chilli pepper is a spirited variety that adds a unique character to your meals. Its long, slender fruits with an intense red colour delight not only with their appearance but also with the power of their taste. It is from these peppers that the world-famous cayenne pepper spice is created, known for stimulating the senses, warming the body and enhancing the aroma of every dish. This plant is ideal for lovers of cuisine full of emotion, from hot sauces and spicy dishes to marinades or dried flakes for pizza and grilled meat. It is a medium-early variety which, with proper care, rewards the grower with a rich yield. Its fruits ripen gradually, allowing you to harvest them successively over several weeks.

Sowing depth

Sow Cayenna chilli pepper seeds at a depth of about 0.5 cm. Shallow sowing facilitates access to heat and light, which accelerates the even germination of young plants.

Sowing time under cover

The best time for sowing is from March to April. By sowing seeds during this period under covers, you create optimal conditions regarding heat and moisture. Thanks to this, seedlings will be ready for transplanting at the appropriate time.

Planting time

Plant Cayenna seedlings from May to June, when the soil temperature is stable and young plants are developed and strong. Planting at this time allows you to avoid cold weather that could delay development and reduce the yield.

Spacing

Maintain a spacing of 40 x 40 cm during planting. This distance allows plants to grow freely, ensuring good aeration and even sunlight exposure, which are key to healthy stems and magnificent, spicy fruits.

Harvest time

Harvest ripe fruits from August to October. Their skin should be intensely red and shiny, a sign that the pepper has reached full flavour and heat. Regular harvesting stimulates plants to produce further fruits, extending the cropping period.

Cultivation

The Cayenna chilli pepper grows best in warm, sunny places. Sow seeds into containers with light, permeable soil and cover with a thin layer of substrate. When seedlings develop several leaves, prick them out to develop a strong root system. Transplant to a permanent site after frosts have subsided, preferably into a foil tunnel or a warm, sheltered position. Plants require regular watering; the substrate should be constantly slightly moist but not waterlogged. Peppers do not tolerate drying out well, as this can inhibit growth and limit flowering. The soil should be fertile, humus-rich and well-aerated. To obtain larger, more aromatic fruits, it is worth using organic or mineral fertilisers with a prevalence of potassium. Growing this variety brings not only satisfaction from the yield but also the joy of observing dozens of fiery fruits appearing on the bushes. You can consume them fresh, dry them, freeze them or process them; they retain their characteristic, spicy taste in every form.
