Chilli Pepper Joes Long Cayenne | Hot Chilli

Bring plenty of heat to your kitchen garden with this impressive chilli, producing an abundance of slender fruits that can grow to 25cm (10in) or more. Ripening from green to glossy red, chilli 'Joes Long Cayenne' delivers a medium-hot kick of around 22,000 Scoville Heat Units, making it ideal for adding spice to fresh dishes or drying and grinding into home-grown cayenne pepper.

Its upright, bushy habit and small green leaves make it well suited to growing in a sunny greenhouse, conservatory or sheltered patio container, where the long, pendant chillies create a colourful display as they mature. As the plants become taller and heavily laden with fruit, a sturdy cane or support will help keep stems upright for a reliable harvest from mid season onwards.
