Growing Chili Seeds

It's easy to grow chili seeds where ever you live in the world. If you can grow tomatoes, basil and other vegetables, you can also grow chiles! The trick is to keep their seeds moist and warm (80-90˚ F) for good germination. Chili plants are relatively easy to care for, just make sure you have them in full sun with well-draining soil, and that you don't overwater them! We also think adding homemade compost is really beneficial to keep the soil fertile.

Ornamental chili seeds

Ornamental Chili Seeds:

Peppers are also quite beautiful plants in the garden, and many varieties, while still edible, are also considered ornamental peppersOne of our favorite ornamental chilis is the NuMex Twilight Pepper – which has dainty bright purple peppers that point upward and ripen to a rainbow of colors: they start out as bright purple fruits that ripen to yellow, orange, then red.

Below is a harvest photo of some ornamental chilis grown from our Goat Horn Seeds and our Purple Bhut Jolokia seeds.
