Capsicum annuum 'Cayenne Long Slim' ~ Cayenne Long Slim Pepper butterfly-garden Small bell-like pale lavender flowersCayenne Long Slim Pepper is a compact fast growing annual that is ready to harvest in 80 90 days. The long and thin twisting hot peppers have shiny red skin and are moderately hot when ripe. Best if grown in full sun and rich, moist, acidic well drained soils. Good disease resistance and heat tolerant. Can be used for drying, pickling, or eaten fresh. In addition to spicing up a meal, cayenne is known to increase digestion and circulation. Colorful
