Violet Red chilli seeds grow into upright, branching plants with consistent foliage development and steady seasonal growth. This chilli type is well suited to warm and temperate climates and performs best with regular sunlight and stable temperatures. Plants adapt easily to garden beds, raised beds, and container growing when provided with well drained soil and consistent moisture. Seeds are commonly started indoors and transplanted outdoors once conditions are warm and settled.
