Chilli Seeds - Rawit

Rawit chilli seeds grow into compact, upright plants with a dense branching habit and steady growth throughout the season. This chilli type is well adapted to warm and humid climates and performs reliably during long growing seasons. Plants are suitable for garden beds, raised beds, and container growing when provided with full sun, well drained soil, and consistent moisture. Seeds are commonly started indoors and transplanted outdoors once temperatures remain warm and stable.
