Chilli 'Cayenne' Heirloom Seeds

Chilli 'Cayenne' Heirloom Seeds produce plants that reach about 60cm in height, bearing plenty of slender, elongated fruits that ripen to a rich deep red. This versatile variety is ideal for use fresh, cured, dried, or made into paste, making it a staple in many kitchens. To achieve the best results, plant in rich, well-draining soil amended with compost and aged animal manure about two weeks before sowing. Adding lime to the soil will help maintain a pH between 6.5 and 7.5, creating optimal growing conditions. Choose a sunny, warm spot and avoid planting in areas previously occupied by heavy feeders like brassicas to support healthy growth. This heirloom chili delivers reliable and flavorful harvests season after season.
