Chilli Seeds - Dundicut

Dundicut chilli seeds grow into compact, upright plants with a well branched structure and steady seasonal growth. This chilli type is traditionally cultivated in warm climates and performs best where temperatures remain consistently mild to warm. Plants adapt well to garden beds, raised beds, and container growing when provided with full sun, well drained soil, and regular moisture. Seeds are typically started indoors and transplanted outdoors once growing conditions are stable.
