Chilli Pepper Seeds
Whether you love a chilli with a sting in its tail, cool and tangy chillies or something that's somewhere in between, you'll find your perfect match in our large selection of chilli seeds.
Our chilli seed selection includes sweeter varieties through to small, fiery chillies - all of which can be germinated and grown in the UK.
One of our 'must haves' from the home-grown fruit and vegetables list is chilli peppers. Because we stock such a large variety of chilli seeds, there is surely a variety to suit any taste, whether you prefer the sweeter end of the scale, or like to challenge yourself by opting for those that almost max out on the Scoville scale!
We've divided our chilli seeds selection into several categories to ensure that you find the variety that is best for your tastes - cool, medium and hot... simple!
The cool chilli pepper seeds selection is home to those mild, sweeter peppers which are often a staple of Mediterranean and Central American dishes. The medium chilli pepper seeds category plays host to those peppers that we believe to have some heat, adding a definitive 'zing' to your dish, whilst the hot chilli pepper seeds listings should be approached with a certain degree of caution and bravery! We have included our own heat scale to help you choose and each listing has a detailed summary of what you can expect from your established chilli plants.
