Kolumbus sei Dank, dem die Entdeckung des Cayennepfeffers zugeschrieben wird, das Gärtner und Köche in den Genuss dieser Mischung kommen, die rote, gelbe und orangene enthalten. Wunderschön dekorativ wird eine überwältigende 'scharfe Erfahrung' geboten. Eignet sich gut für Gewächshäuser. (Gemüsepaprika)

Sow early spring in a good seed compost and barely cover the seed. Germination usually takes 8-14 days at 24-27C (75-80F).

Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) and finally into 20cm (8in) pots or growbags. Aim for a night temperature of between 16-24C (60-75F) otherwise fruit setting may be poor. Likewise keep daytime temperature around 24C (75F) for best results.

As the flowers form ensure the compost is always evenly moist. Give a weak application of fertiliser as the blossoms open and water well. For continued cropping, pick the fruit as soon as they start to colour and ripen off the plant.
