Chili Pepper Seeds - Dark Brown Brazilian

Dark Brown Brazilian chili pepper seeds grow into upright, branching plants with a steady growth habit suited to warm climates. This chili pepper type is typically grown as a long season annual and performs best where temperatures remain consistently warm. Plants adapt well to garden beds, raised beds, and container growing when provided with full sun, well drained soil, and regular moisture.
