Dragon Cayenne

Dragon Cayenne delivers classic cayenne performance on sturdy, well‑branched plants that crank out slim 3–4 inch pods from midsummer on. Fruits ripen cleanly from dark green to bright red, drying quickly for vibrant flakes and powders. Heat lands in the familiar cayenne window, hot but highly usable across sauces, soups, and sautés. Plants around 30 inches tall carry generous sets that keep coming with sun and steady moisture. The thin‑walled pods blister fast on a hot pan, making them perfect for quick char and immediate chopping. Pick regularly to keep flowers rolling and to maintain a steady pipeline of green‑to‑red color. If you need a dependable producer that’s easy to process and store, Dragon Cayenne is a workhorse. It’s a true pantry pepper—productive in the garden and versatile in the kitchen.
