Description:
The Long Red Thick Cayenne pepper is the biggest cayenne pepper that you can grow! All cayennes are categorized by size, length, and thickness of the pod's walls - this strain is twice as thick as other varieties!
These cayenne pepper plants are relatively compact, growing between 2-3 ft. tall and boasting skinny pods that will grow 5-6" long. The Long Red Thick Cayenne pepper ripens from a lustrous dark green to a brilliant, fiery scarlet color and will grow into wrinkled, tapered, curved pods born on strong, upright plants. This is one gorgeous pepper that you’ll never want to look away from and will stand out beautifully in your garden or backyard.
Long Red Thick Cayenne peppers are one of the most delicious peppers you can use for powder, pickled, in sauces, or as dried form! Don't believe us? Pick up a packet of these seeds and try them out for yourself!
