About this variety
Ring of Fire is a modern cayenne-type variety developed for cooler climates, producing abundant long, slender red pods with a sharp, clean heat. This compact, early-maturing cultivar has become popular among home gardeners for its reliability and productivity, typically ready to harvest in about 60-70 days from transplant. While sharing the classic cayenne shape and heat level, it's particularly valued for its cold tolerance and ability to set fruit in less-than-ideal conditions.

Culinary uses
Excellent for fresh salsas, hot sauces, stir-fries, and drying into flakes or powder. The thin walls make these ideal for drying whole or crushing into cayenne pepper seasoning.
