Description

This early-ripening hybrid has all the heat of regular cayenne chiles, but the fruits mature much earlier on stout, 45cm (18″) tall plants. The fruits can be as long as 20cm (8″). Great for containers, Arapaho Pepper Seeds are productive and spicy, with a sweet red bell pepper undertone in its flavour. The peppers dry well for making homemade hot chile powder, and they’re the perfect size for hanging decorative ristras. Arapaho cayenne is rated at a distinctly fiery 30,000 – 50,000 SHU’s. Sold by seed count.
