Notes
'Cayenne Long Thin Hot Pepper' (Capsicum annuum 'Cayenne Long Thin Hot Pepper') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. It grows 24 to 59 inches tall and draws butterflies, bees, and birds.
Pairs well with Tomato, Candy carrot, and Thai basil.
