Cayenne chilli is a fiery favourite for spice lovers, producing slender, bright red fruits mid-season that can be dried or ground into classic cayenne pepper. The plant grows bushy and compact, with numerous branching stems and small, glossy green leaves, making it both productive and easy to manage in a garden or container.
Grow on in a well-lit, warm location such as a sunny windowsill or greenhouse until all risk of frost has passed before moving them to their final growing positions outside, in a sunny spot, or keep in a greenhouse for earlier harvests and hotter fruits. Keep well watered and feed regularly with high-potash tomato food once the fruits begin to form.
