Red Ember
Sun-warmed and vivid, Red Ember peppers glow with a fiery, ember-red sheen and a bright, cayenne-sharp bite that builds from first spark to lingering warmth. At maturity they hang in tidy, upright clusters, with smooth, tapered skins that feel crisp and resilient—ideal for turning into bold flavor accents. Grow Red Ember for a steady harvest that shines in dried flakes, hot sauces, and quick pickling brines where its clean heat and vivid color really stand out.

Sowing Tips
Transplant Conditions
Wait until soil reaches 60°F and nights stay above 50°F before moving outdoors. Harden off for 10 days first.
Expert Note
For the quickest, most uniform harvest, start pepper seeds warm (around 80°F), then transplant only when soil is reliably warm and night temps stay above ~50°F.
