The cayenne pepper is a thin chili pepper, green to red in color, about 2 to 5 inches (5-10 cm) long. The “cayenne pepper” spice you use mostly in pizza restaurants is the dried, ground version of this pepper.
Cayenne is great in soups and sauces, on pizzas, as well as over meats and seafood. Keep it on the table in a shaker as an alternative to salt or pepper.
Instructions how to grow Cayenne pepper:
In temperate climates, the cayenne pepper plant is usually grown as an annual. In these areas, you will need to start seeds indoors and provide a temperature that is higher than 60 F, preferably right around 70 degrees. Use a light soil medium and a nice sunny location. Allow 16-20 days for seeds to sprout. Once they sprout, plant seedlings into flats two to three inches apart and gradually harden them off to the outdoors. For best results, transplant your cayenne pepper plants six to eight weeks after the seeds are sown and after all danger of frost has passed. Prepare your transplant’s final homes by amending the soil with organic materials and fertilizer but avoid a high nitrogen feed, Make sure the final locations have ample sun exposure.
If you live in an area that benefits from a long growing season and lots of sunlight, sow seeds directly into the ground 10-14 days before the last frost date. When transplanting or sowing directly, plant your pepper plants 18-24 inches apart in rows.

Not one seed germinated therefore this company's product is not worth wasting time or money on.

These seeds grew abundant, healthy peppers that ripened at the very end of summer and in early fall. Hot but not blazing. We worried at first as they took longer to sprout than some other types of seeds that weren't peppers (we are novice gardeners) but they did sprout and then grew sturdily with no care other than water. We had so many peppers!
