Chili Pepper Seeds - Blue

Blue chili pepper plants are warm-season annuals with an upright, branching growth habit and steady development throughout the frost-free growing season. They are adapted to warm and temperate climates and perform best with consistent sunlight and evenly moist soil. Plants grown from seed establish reliably in fertile, well-drained soil and form compact to moderately spreading plants over the season. This variety is suitable for home gardens, raised beds, and container planting where proper spacing supports airflow and balanced plant growth.
