Chilli Seeds - Mixed

Mixed chilli seeds grow into a diverse range of upright, branching plants that develop with varied growth habits and seasonal performance. This mix is suited to warm and temperate climates and allows gardeners to grow multiple chilli plant types in a single planting. Plants perform well in garden beds, raised beds, and containers when provided with full sun, well drained soil, and consistent moisture. Seeds are typically started indoors and transplanted outdoors once temperatures remain warm and stable.
