Chilli Seeds - Red

Red chilli seeds produce warm-season plants commonly grown as annuals in most climates. Plants develop an upright, branching growth habit and are suitable for cultivation in garden beds, raised beds, and containers. This type performs best in warm conditions with full sun exposure and a consistent growing season. Red chilli plants adapt well to a range of soil types when drainage is adequate and benefit from regular watering and stable temperatures, making them suitable for home and small-scale planting.
