De Cayenne Chilli Pepper

Cayenne is your classic ‘kitchen’ chilli, with a good amount of heat and a great flavour. The striking red peppers can grow up to 6” long, and can be harvested and eaten green or red. Plants can grow up to 2ft high and give an excellent yield. Approx. 12 seeds. "We grow this variety for the Wales Seed Hub as they’re pretty much fool proof – super productive and ripening really early, which means you’ll still get a really good crop even in the shortest, dullest, coolest of Welsh summers! They have a great flavour and a good amount of heat without being too hot. Great in all kinds of cooking, you can pick and use them when green too – a staple of many Indian recipes. And for the glut of chillies you may end up with at the end of the season? Well, you can’t beat a few jars of homemade chilli jam." Botanical name: Capsicum annuum Grown by: Carolyn Moody
