The Pepper Hot Cayenne Blend, 'Capsicum annuum', is an excellent hot flavoring for chili and other hot foods and a string of the colorful, dried cayennes is an attractive decoration. Pencil thin Cayenne peppers are used fresh in hot sauces and chilies, dried or ground for cayenne pepper or pepper flakes, as a flavor in oil and vinegar, and strung on a string as an attractive southwest decoration. The Cayenne Blend plant is a decorative garden plant with the seemingly hundreds of peppers on each plant. The Hot Cayenne Blend produces peppers that are hot, thin-walled, curled, twisted and pointed. The pepper colors are purple, yellow, and green that turns to dark red. Transplant outside in the spring 3 to 4 weeks after last frost date. Note: To get a jump on the season transplant outside, use a walls-of-water or some black plastic to maintain and increase temperatures. Plant in average garden soil with sufficient organic matter. Peppers use quite a bit of water but prefer to be watered deeply and not too often. Harvest when 1 inch long or longer. Use gloves and do not touch any other part of the body after harvesting. Wash your hands immediately. ... find out more
