Capsicum Annuum 'Dragon Cayenne'
Chilli 'Dragon Cayenne'
A small upright shrub with glossy green leaves of varying sizes depending on the variety. Chillies tend to be long, narrow, tapering fruit. The single flowers are an off-white (sometimes purplish) colour while the stem is densely branched. 'Dragon Cayenne' produces upright fruit that turn from green to red, and get hotter the more red they become. (Advisable to grow them away from where small children can reach them, as they are colourful and tempting to look at!) Scoville Units: 30,000-50,000 (hot)
