Overview
Cowhorn is an heirloom cayenne named for the shape of its pods: long, pointed and curved, 8 to 10 inches, with walls thicker than a typical cayenne. Fruit ripen from green to red in about 75 days from transplant. The thick walls give more flesh for fresh salsa and stuffing than a thin cayenne, while the pods still dry well for flakes. Grow in full sun and stake plants carrying a heavy load of long fruit.
