Bred for earlier maturity and higher productivity than traditional cayenne varieties it is a favorite for gardeners in cooler climates who can't wait for the full season and for commercial growers seeking reliable high yields of uniform pods. Perfect for drying into powder or flakes fresh use in salsas and hot sauce production its performance and flavor make it one of the most popular cayenne selections.
