Overview
Cyklon is an open-pollinated hot pepper from Poland, distributed by Seed Savers Exchange. The fruit is tapered with a slight curve, about 4 to 5 inches long and 2 inches wide at the shoulder, and ripens to red. Walls are thin, which is exactly what you want for drying, and it hangs well on a string or dries quickly on a rack. Expect ripe fruit around 80 days after transplanting. This is a practical choice for gardeners who want a homegrown supply of dried red chile for the winter.
