Cayenne Long Slim turns up the heat without taking up much space—slender, wrinkled pods about 6” x ¾” that ripen from deep green to a vivid, glossy red and bring classic cayenne fire. The flavor is sharp, bright, and slightly smoky, with a clean, lingering burn that shines in chili, hot sauces, spice blends, and homemade salsa. Thin walls mean these peppers dry quickly and evenly for crushed red pepper, and they grind beautifully into a rich, red powder. Compact, bushy plants stay around 20–24” tall yet pump out armloads of fruit, making this old standby a powerhouse for small gardens, containers, and anyone who likes their pantry—and their cooking—well-stocked with real heat.

How to Grow

Start seed indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost. A heat mat helps to speed up the germination process. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 65-85 degrees. Peppers generally have long growing seasons and grow slowly during cool temperatures. Delay transplanting until your soil has thoroughly warmed up in the spring. A week before transplanting time, harden off plants by exposing them to an increasing number of hours outdoors each day. Peppers are less cold tolerant than tomatoes.
