Habanero Seeds - Chili

Habanero seeds grow into compact, bushy plants that are typically cultivated as seasonal plants in temperate regions and as short lived perennials in warm climates. These plants prefer consistently warm conditions and are well suited to garden beds, raised beds, and container planting. They adapt well to controlled garden environments where sunlight, moisture, and soil conditions can be maintained. When started from seed, plants establish gradually and are commonly used in home gardens for small scale cultivation.
