Ring of Fire Pepper: Blazing Hot Cayenne with Early Harvest

Ignite your culinary creations with the Ring of Fire pepper, a fiery cayenne variety that lives up to its name. This prolific producer matures in just 60 days, offering gardeners an early harvest of intensely spicy, 4-inch long peppers[1][5]. Boasting a glossy, bright red skin at maturity, these peppers are a visual and flavorful delight, perfect for those seeking heat with a punch[1][4].

The Ring of Fire pepper excels in versatility, suitable for both fresh use and drying. Its thin flesh makes it an excellent candidate for creating homemade chili flakes or powder, adding a scorching kick to pizzas, chocolate cookies, or any dish craving intense heat[2][4]. With a Scoville rating of 50,000 units, these peppers deliver a significant heat that’s hotter than traditional cayenne, making them a favorite among spice enthusiasts[2][4].

Growing to a compact height of 18 inches, Ring of Fire pepper plants are ideal for small gardens or container growing[1][5]. Despite their modest size, these plants are incredibly productive, yielding heavy sets of fiery peppers that transition from dark green to a blazing red as they ripen[4]. Their early maturity and high yield make them particularly well-suited for regions with shorter growing seasons[2][4].

Growing Success Tips:

  • Start seeds indoors 8 weeks before last frost date for a head start[2]
  • Provide full sun and well-draining, fertile soil for optimal growth[7]
  • Space plants 18 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation[1]
  • Harvest peppers when fully red for maximum heat and flavor[2]

Ring of Fire peppers offer an unbeatable combination of early harvest, compact growth, and intense heat, making them a valuable addition to any pepper enthusiast’s garden. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or a novice chili head, these peppers promise a rewarding growing experience and a fiery culinary adventure.

Tip: For an extra boost in heat, slightly stress the plants by reducing watering as the peppers begin to ripen.
