True to its name, the XL Cheyenne Mutant produces large, thick-walled pods that can reach up to 4 to 5 inches in length. The chillies start off green and mature to a vibrant, deep red, making them a visually striking addition to any garden. The pods are relatively smooth, with a slight curve that adds to their distinct appearance.

The XL Cheyenne Mutant Chilli packs a serious amount of heat, ranging from 100,000 to 150,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). This places it firmly in the “hot” category, comparable to the Cayenne and Tabasco peppers, but with much larger pods. The heat is intense and persistent, making it ideal for creating extremely spicy salsas, hot sauces, or even for drying and grinding into chili powder.

This variety prefers well-draining, fertile soil to encourage strong growth. The plant can reach a height of 3 to 4 feet and is well-suited for both garden beds and containers.

For optimal results, fertilize every 2-3 weeks during the growing season to promote healthy fruit production. The XL Cheyenne Mutant chilli is highly productive, yielding large, thick-walled pods that ripen to a deep red colour. With a Scoville rating between 100,000 and 150,000 SHU, these chillies are ideal for spice lovers and those looking to create fiery hot sauces, salsas, and spicy dishes.
