Buena Mulata Plant

Just like most cayenne types, the buena mulata is a pretty spicy pepper variety. It isn’t among the hottest in the world, but it does pack a good punch of heat.

The buena mulata pepper ranges in heat from 30,000-50,000 SHUs on the Scoville scale. This is typical for run of the mill cayenne varieties, but the buena mulata has more ornamental charm. While its heat level is average for a cayenne, yield is lower than other types. With this in mind, the buena mulata may not be the best choice if you are growing cayennes for large batches of sauce or powder.
