Cayenne Pepper Seedlings

Cayenne Pepper Seedling

Fiery and full of flavour, Cayenne Peppers are a classic hot pepper variety known for their long, slender shape and vibrant red colour. A staple in the kitchen, they add bold spice to sauces, stir-fries, and seasoning blends — and are prized for their natural medicinal and antioxidant properties.

🪴 Plant Details

• Traditional hot pepper with thin, elongated red fruits
• High heat level with a bright, clean spice (30,000–50,000 Scoville units)
• Excellent for drying, grinding into powder, or using fresh
• Compact, high-yielding plants suited to containers or garden beds
• Contains capsaicin, valued for anti-inflammatory and circulation benefits

☀️ Growing Info

• Full sun (6–8+ hours daily)
• Prefers fertile, well-drained soil kept consistently moist
• Space plants 18–24” apart
• Start indoors 8–10 weeks before last frost and transplant outdoors after soil warms
• Harvest when peppers turn bright red for maximum heat and flavour

🌿 Companion Planting Tip

Cayenne Peppers pair beautifully with basil, onions, and carrots. They help deter pests when planted near lettuce or spinach, and thrive alongside tomatoes for improved pollination and warmth. Avoid planting near beans or fennel, which may stunt growth.
