Pepper Seeds - Hot Pepper - Cowhorn Cayenne
Description
Bold, classic cayenne with farmhouse charm. Cowhorn Cayenne earns its name from the long, gently curving pods that swing like red horns on the plant. The flavor is bright and peppery with a clean, medium heat that builds steadily, perfect for everyday cooking and for putting up jars of flakes and vinegar sauces. If you want a workhorse chile that looks spectacular on the plant and in the kitchen, this is it.
The plants are vigorous and productive, typically 2 to 3 feet tall with a branching habit that loads every stem with blossoms and fruit. Dark green foliage frames clusters of pendant pods so the plants read ornamental long before ripening. Pods average 8 to 10 inches, slender and gracefully curved with thin walls. They mature from glossy green to a deep, lacquer red, and those thin walls make them ideal for quick drying on racks, strings, or screens.
Bite into a ripe pod and you get sweet red pepper first, followed by a clean cayenne heat that lingers without turning muddy. In the kitchen, slice into rings for sautés and pizzas, thread onto skewers for the grill, or tuck whole pods into pickling jars and chili oils. Dried pods grind into vivid flakes and powder that bring color and lift to rubs, stews, eggs, and roasted vegetables, while whole dried cowhorns infuse vinegars with a brilliant brick-red hue.
Long valued in Southern gardens and farmhouse kitchens, Cowhorn Cayenne remains a dependable Capsicum annuum heirloom grown for its generous yields, easy drying, and unmistakable look. Plant it when you want a pantry staple with honest heat, bright flavor, and armfuls of beautiful, curving peppers all season.
