Cayenne - Las Cruces NuMex Seeds: The Perfect Pepper for Heat Lovers

Revitalize your garden and spice up your dishes with the Cayenne - Las Cruces NuMex Seeds, a high-yielding, fiery pepper that’s perfect for making ground cayenne pepper or crafting bold, homemade hot sauces. This exceptional variety combines the best traits of two renowned New Mexico cayennes, delivering earliness, large fruits, and impressive resistance to beet curly top virus.

Why Choose NuMex Las Cruces Cayenne?

Bred for excellence and released in 2010, this open-pollinated, non-GMO pepper is a must-have for home gardeners and hot sauce enthusiasts. Its 6 in. long, bright red fruits pack a serious punch with a Scoville rating of 17,400, making it ideal for those who crave intense heat.

Versatile Uses

Enjoy the NuMex Las Cruces Cayenne fresh, dried, or fermented into a flavorful "mash", the secret behind authentic Louisiana-style hot sauces. Simply chop the peppers, mix with ≈20% salt, and let nature work its magic. The result? A rich, tangy base that elevates any dish.

Easy to Grow

With a maturity period of just 75 days, these heirloom pepper seeds thrive in warm conditions. Start indoors 8 weeks before the last frost, using sterile media and 85°F bottom heat for optimal germination. Transplant seedlings with 6 true leaves into rich soil or 3-gallon containers, spacing them 24 inches apart. Watch as your plants grow to 24–35 inches tall, laden with vibrant red chiles ready for harvest.

Great addition

I added these to my garden last year. This summer I got great full pods with just the right amount of heat. What a great addition to my hot sauce. Has added a bright flavor and spice. I will keep these on my list.

Delicious

These are nice and hot and prolific, I love their bright red color. I just made up a batch of your no-peel canned salsa recipe with apples and threw in a whole bunch of these thrown in, and it's nice and spicy and DELISH. I love the idea of using my abundance of apples from our apple tree in something spicy for a change. :) Thanks for all your great hot pepper recipes!

Best Cayenne Pepper

Very productive, great flavor.

Best Cayenne seeds

Grew these this past summer, very productive plants with lots of bright red cayenne peppers. They also dried easily on the counter, I have them in jars and saving to grind into fresh hot pepper flakes as I need them. It goes fast around here, I love to put cayenne flakes on nearly everything.
