Grow Your Own Chillies from Seed

Chilli peppers are natives of tropical America and have likely been eaten since around 7500 BC. Nowadays, almost all cultivated forms of chillies are of Mexican origin, with the jalapeño chilli taking its name from the state capital of Veracruz, Jalapa. With Mr Fothergill’s chilli seeds, you can bring spice all the way from the Americas to your kitchen. We stock more than 20 varieties of pepper to choose from, so there’s something for everyone.

Chilli seeds are spring-sowing vegetable seeds that need a warm, sheltered spot to thrive. They’re perfect for pots and containers and can be grown in a greenhouse, polytunnel, or sunny windowsill. The more compact varieties will only reach 20-30 cm tall, making them ideal for gardeners short on space.
