Cayenne Purple Pepper Seeds - Vibrant, Flavorful Heat

Spice up your garden and your dishes with these stunning Cayenne Purple Pepper Seeds! A rare purple variant of the classic cayenne, these peppers pack a punch with their intense heat (30,000–50,000 Scoville) and a slightly richer flavor than their red counterparts. Perfect for salsas, pickling, or drying into fiery flakes and powder, these peppers are as versatile as they are beautiful.

Why Choose Cayenne Purple Peppers?

These heirloom, open-pollinated peppers are a gardener’s delight. The 18–20" tall plants produce an abundance of 4" long peppers that transition from light green to deep purple before ripening to a bold red. Their thin walls make them ideal for drying, while their striking color adds visual appeal to any dish.

Key Features:

  • Heat Level: Very Hot (30,000-50,000 Scoville)
  • Growth Habit: Compact, perfect for containers or garden beds
  • Maturity: 85 days
  • Seed Count: 10 seeds per packet (GMO-free)

Growing Tips:

Start seeds indoors 8 weeks before the last frost, using sterile media and bottom heat (85°F) for optimal germination. Keep the soil moist and provide bright light. Transplant seedlings after they develop 6 true leaves, spacing them 30" apart or in large 5-gallon containers. Harvest when peppers turn yellowish-orange for the best flavor.

Ready to grow your own fiery, flavorful harvest? Add these unique Cayenne Purple Pepper Seeds to your garden today and enjoy a bounty of heat and color!
