Overview
Wildcat F1 is a mild cayenne from Bayer/Seminis, an AAS regional winner (Southeast and Mountain/Southwest) in 2023. The long, curled pods reach 8 to 12 inches and 2 to 3 ounces, far larger than a typical cayenne, and ripen from green to red. Heat is gentle at 500-1500 Scoville units, so the fruit works fresh, dried or ground without overwhelming a dish. Plants are upright, 36 to 42 inches with dark green foliage, and set 20 to 25 fruits without staking. Resistant to PVY:0 and Tm:0. Give plants 24 to 36 inches of space in full sun; about 75 days from transplant.
