Description:
Cayennetta peppers are a compact variety of cayenne pepper known for their elongated shape and bright red color. They have a medium heat level, making them great for adding spice to dishes without being overwhelmingly hot.
These peppers are often used in sauces, salsas, and for drying to make chili flakes or powders. Cayennetta plants thrive in warm weather and full sun, requiring well-drained soil and consistent watering.
They are also suitable for container gardening due to their smaller size.
