Nosferatu Cayenne Pepper Seeds: A Striking Hybrid with Dramatic Flair

Explore the Unique Heat of Nosferatu Cayenne Peppers

Dive into the world of unique pepper hybrids with Nosferatu Cayenne Pepper seeds, an inventive cross between a traditional Cayenne and a Pimento de Neyde. Developed by Six Mile Supply, this hybrid combines the fiery heat of Cayenne with the distinctive coloration and milder heat of Pimento de Neyde. Ideal for gardeners and culinary enthusiasts looking for a pepper that offers both visual appeal and a flavorful kick, Nosferatu Cayenne is perfect for adding a touch of drama to any garden or dish.

Intense Heat with Visual Intrigue

Nosferatu Cayenne Peppers bring an intense heat that can liven up any culinary creation, often measuring between 30,000 to 50,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). This hybrid stands out with its unique color transition, where peppers begin with the deep, almost black hue of Pimento de Neyde and mature into a vibrant red, typical of Cayenne peppers. This striking color shift not only adds to the visual appeal but also indicates when the peppers are ripe and at their most flavorful.

Robust Growth and Eye-Catching Appearance

The plants themselves are vigorous growers, showcasing broad, dark leaves that set a dramatic backdrop for the colorful peppers. Nosferatu Cayenne peppers are elongated and slender, maintaining the classic shape of their Cayenne heritage while adopting the intriguing coloration of Pimento de Neyde. Their unusual appearance and robust growth make them a standout addition to any garden.

Cultivation Highlights

Growing Nosferatu Cayenne Peppers is both exciting and rewarding, suitable for gardeners with some experience in pepper cultivation:

  1. Seed Starting: Sow seeds indoors about 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost. Maintain soil temperatures between 75-85°F (24-29°C) for optimal germination.
  2. Transplanting: Transfer seedlings outdoors once the threat of frost has passed and temperatures consistently exceed 65°F (18°C), in a spot that receives full sunlight.
  3. Sunlight and Watering: Ensure plants receive 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Water regularly to keep the soil moist but well-drained, which is vital for the development of healthy, spicy peppers.
  4. Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer throughout the growing season to encourage strong growth and a high yield of peppers.
