Cayenne Fogaras Chili Seeds

Information: The Cayenne Fogaras Chili is a Romanian breeding of the red, classic Cayenne chili. Cayennes are one of the most widespread varieties worldwide and a real classic on your spice rack. The plants grow bushy and produce many of the red ripening, approx. 10 - 12 cm long fruits, sometimes 20-30 fruits simultaneously on one plant. They ripen quickly and are relatively robust. Due to the thin fruit walls they are excellent for drying, but also give fresh salsas and sauces the typical Cayenne flavour.

Care: Germination temperature is between 22°C and 28°C (germination period: 6-20 days); it is therefore recommended to use a greenhouse and a heating mat. The plants need fresh, well-fertilised permeable soil and should not be left in standing water. They should be placed in a sunny, sheltered place with at least 6 hours of sunlight per day, if not more. Place the plants outside around 2 to 3 weeks after the last frost. When you plant the seedlings outdoors, take care to leave at least 50 - 60cm of space between each plant. The main harvest should take place after approximately 3 months` ripening time.
