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 in. tall plants produce an abundance of 4 in. 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.

Customers praised these seeds for excellent germination rates and attractive deep purple peppers. One reviewer noted "100 percent germination" while another called them "the perfect pepper." However, shoppers reported slow germination and growth, particularly in colder climates. Best suited for experienced growers, these produce abundant fruit.

cute peppers, grow well but slowly

Living in Canada, we cannot plant much outside until well into May. I started these inside, early, but they took a very long time to germinate. I grow my peppers in pots, so that I can move them around to maximize sunshine. I ended up with a lovely small plant full of lots of deep purple little peppers. Very cute, but they grow slowly. Trying to overwinter the pot indoors, so let's see how it does!

Good growth six weeks after starting!

Just started these fellows on April 15 (coastal CA), and we have 100 percent germination PLUS really nice growth. Really looking forward to them come August!

Cayenne Purple Pepper Seeds

I love all things purple

and I also love spicy too, so these purple cayenne peppers are the perfect addition to my garden. Thank you for these as well as all your other peppers, it's hard to pick from all of them, so I grow different ones every year from your seed catalog.

perfect pepper

These really are the perfect pepper! Really simple to grow if you've ever grown peppers before, but may be a challenge for beginners. I was surprised at how many fruit this plant grew and will definitely be growing them again next season.
