Pot Veg Chilli Pepper 'Cheyenne' 8.5cm
3 FOR £5
Chilli Cheyenne is a hot and spicy pepper variety that is popular among home gardeners and chili enthusiasts. It is a compact plant that grows to about 45-60cm tall, making it a great choice for small gardens or container growing. The peppers themselves are small and conical, measuring around 2.5cm long and start out green before ripening to a bright red colour.
In terms of heat, Chilli Cheyenne is considered a moderately hot pepper, with a Scoville heat rating of around 40,000-50,000 units. This makes it hotter than a jalapeño pepper but not as hot as a habanero. The heat is accompanied by a fruity and slightly smoky flavour, which makes it a great addition to salsas, hot sauces, and other spicy dishes.
Chilli Cheyenne is a relatively easy plant to grow, and it thrives in warm and sunny locations. It can be started indoors in the early spring and transplanted outdoors once the danger of frost has passed. The plant prefers well-draining soil and regular watering, but it is important not to overwater as this can cause root rot. With proper care, Chilli Cheyenne can produce a bountiful harvest of fiery and flavourful peppers throughout the summer and into the autumn.
