Chili Pepper Seeds - Mixed

Mixed chili pepper plants are warm-season annuals with upright, branching growth habits that vary depending on the individual selection within the mix. These plants are well adapted to warm and temperate climates and develop steadily during the frost-free growing season. When grown from seed, they establish reliably in fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture and full sunlight. A mixed planting is suitable for home gardens, raised beds, and containers where seasonal diversity and adaptability are desired.
