Thanks to Columbus who is credited with discovering the cayenne pepper, gardeners and cooks can enjoy the pleasure of this mixture containing red, yellow and orange. Beautifully ornamental and offering a 'mind blowing' hot flavour experience. Most suitable for greenhouse culture. (Capsicum annuum)
Sow early spring in a good seed compost and barely cover the seed. Germination usually takes 8-14 days at 24-27C (75-80F).
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.
