Long Hot Peppers

Long Hot Peppers

Looking for long hot peppers? We have an assortment of spicy long peppers that are a great addition to your pepper and vegetable garden!

One of our favorite long hot peppers is the Goat Horn Hot Pepper. It is quite prolific, and has great red color when fully mature. Here are some photos of a loaded down plant. It can be quite pretty in pots too, larger 5+ gallon pots are best.

For other long hot peppers, you can also try growing Cayenne Pepper seeds; or Chile de Arbol seeds, with their bold heat and sublte natural smoky flavor. Our Las Cruces Cayenne peppers are also great for hot sauces or dried for hot pepper flakes.




We also have Indian Finger Hot Pepper Seeds, pictured above, which have 4" long pepper pods with great flavor and spice to many Indian dishes. 

We also have long & large green chiles that are hot and spicy, too! So if you're looking for bulk and flavor, check out our Big Jim Legacy Chiles which have incredible New Mexican chile flavor abd thick flesh with mild to medium heat.
