Planting & Care

Start cayenne seeds indoors several weeks before the last expected frost, sowing them about 1/4 inch deep in a moist seed-starting mix. Keep the trays warm and evenly moist to encourage germination. Once seedlings have developed true leaves and the danger of frost has passed, harden them off gradually before transplanting into the garden or containers.

Set plants in full sun and well-drained soil, and water regularly to keep moisture consistent without waterlogging. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Feed lightly through the season and harvest peppers as they reach full size and color for fresh use or drying.
