Longhorn™ Pepper

Longhorn is a vigorous upright hot pepper with long, tapered red fruit and a distinctive curl. [Syngenta Flowers](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/apac/product/vegetalis/70092271) reports approximate dimensions of 100 by 70 cm, fruit 15–23 cm long, and maturity 85–90 days after transplant. The breeder describes the fruit as mild and recommends fresh use, grilling, or drying. ## Landscape Use Plant it in an edible garden or large sunny container with room for upright growth and harvest. Container plants need support. ## Seasonal Interest Red fruit provides a visible harvest display; maturity timing varies with local warmth. ## Siting and Care Peppers grow in full sun and deeply worked, well-drained soil with organic matter. Keep the root zone consistently moist without leaving it waterlogged. [University of Connecticut Extension](https://homegarden.cahnr.uconn.edu/factsheets/peppers/) recommends warm soil before transplanting and regular watering. ## Maintenance Harvest red fruit at the desired size. Secure support as the crop develops; remove spent plants after frost where peppers are annuals.
