Chili Pepper Seeds - Apache

Apache chili pepper seeds produce compact, upright plants well suited for warm-season cultivation. This variety is commonly grown as an annual and is especially suitable for container planting, raised beds, and small garden spaces due to its manageable size. Plants develop a dense, bushy growth habit and perform best in warm climates with full sun exposure.
