The Rajah Cayenne Hybrid Pepper is a premium choice for growers seeking an early-maturing Long Slim Cayenne variety with exceptional fruit quality and robust plant performance. This hybrid pepper stands out for its adaptability and resilience, thriving even in challenging conditions thanks to its vigorous growth habit and strong root system. 

The plants are uniformly robust, with generous foliage cover that protects the hanging fruit from sunscald. This feature is particularly beneficial in hot climates or areas with intense sunlight. The fruit themselves are slender and slightly wrinkled, measuring about 5 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. Their thin walls and beautiful dark red color make them ideal for fresh market sales, drying, or processing into cayenne pepper flakes and powders.

Rajah Cayenne peppers are characterized by their classic cayenne heat, delivering a pungent, well-rounded flavor profile with a Scoville Heat Unit rating of approximately 6,000. Their reliable performance and superior quality make them a favorite among chefs, spice enthusiasts, and gardeners alike.

Growing Information

Be sure to check out our Pepper Growing Guide to learn how to successfully grow peppers at home.

Peppers are in the nightshade family along with tomatoes and eggplant. Plants in the nightshade family are susceptible to blossom end rot, which is a result of a calcium deficiency. To prevent or alleviate this problem, apply pelleted gypsum at the base of the plant at bloom set. Peppers do best when transplanted, as the germination time can be longer than most vegetable seed. Peppers grow very well in our heavy-duty seed starting trays. Plants should be started 4-6 weeks before the intended outdoor planting date. If conditions outside are favorable, transplants may be planted directly from our 162 cell trays. If conditions are still too cold for planting peppers, transplants may be "stepped-up" to 4" pots to allow more room to grow. Peppers can produce heavy fruits and will require some form of support to keep the plant upright. We recommend using the Florida Weave trellising technique that involves using stakes and twine along the row. This ensures that plants and fruits stay off the ground, reducing the possibility of disease and keeping fruits clean.
