Brighten your garden and spice rack with Cayenne Golden, an organic heirloom pepper that combines eye-catching beauty with traditional cayenne heat. These slender, golden-yellow chilies offer a smooth but assertive heat and a zesty, citrusy flavor that stands out in hot sauces, spice blends, and culinary creations. Whether you grow for flavor, preservation, or ornamental value, Cayenne Golden peppers deliver excellence from soil to seasoning.

This variety produces vigorous, upright plants that yield an abundance of slender, curved pods, typically 4 to 6 inches long, ripening from green to a rich golden hue. The fruits air-dry beautifully right on the plant or can be strung into ristras, dehydrated for flakes, or blended into bold, homemade hot sauces. Their thinner walls make them perfect for quick drying and long-term storage.

Growing Tips for Cayenne Golden Peppers
Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before your last frost date. Use a heat mat for optimal germination (75–85°F). Transplant outdoors in full sun once nighttime temps stay above 55°F. Space plants 18–24 inches apart in rich, well-drained soil.

Fertilize with compost or a balanced organic fertilizer every 2–3 weeks. Peppers prefer consistent watering but dislike soggy roots. Harvest when fully golden for peak flavor and drying quality.

Companion Planting Suggestions
Plant near basil, onions, or carrots for mutual pest defense and nutrient synergy. Avoid planting near fennel, which can stunt pepper growth.
