Ho Chi Minh cayenne pepper was brought to Minnesota by some Vietnamese immigrants in the 1980’s and given to Steven Schwen a local farmer. It ripens from green to a smooth yellow when ripe. The heat really develops once the peppers reach 9-12cm (4-5 in.) Use fresh or try drying and grinding for a lovely yellow chili powder. Up to 2 dozen peppers per plant. Full sun. 30,000 Scoville units. 68 days. 0.3g/approximately 50 seeds.
Tip: Soak pepper seed in water overnight to speed up germination.
