Chilli Seeds from Around the World

The World of Chilli Seeds

Growing chillies from seed is where every variety really begins. Each chilli seed has its own rhythm — different germination speeds, growth habits and requirements — and learning those small differences is what turns seedlings into strong, productive plants.

Successful chilli seed growing comes down to a few essentials: steady warmth, good light, free-draining compost and careful watering.

I start thousands of chilli plants from seed each year and rely on simple, consistent methods that give reliable results across a wide range of varieties, from mild cooking chillies to extreme superhots. Tips on how to grow from seed can be found in Grow Chillies from Seeds.

This page lists all the chilli seeds we currently stock, arranged A–Z. You can browse the full catalogue below or use the category links to narrow things down — whether you’re looking for classic cooking chillies, super-hot varieties or something more unusual.

Remember along with heat goes light so illuminate their world with up to 16 hours of high-intensity light daily. Even if you start with just a handful of chillies from seed this year, you'll likely find yourself with an abundant supply to fuel your spice cravings for months on end. Embrace the journey, and let the fiery magic unfold!

I really want you to have success, so all plant, plug and seed orders go out with a free copy of my 28-page ‘How to Grow Chillies’ booklet. Also check out the grow guides on the site.

8 Point Chilli Grow Plan

LED Propagators; Super-charge your seeds. Costs 75p a month to run.

Five good reasons to use an LED propagator.

1. Control temperature, humidity and light levels of your seedlings with a LED propagator.

2. Add valuable hours of light to your seedlings during winter and spring months.

3. LED propagators cost just pennies a month to run, yet can add 50% extra light in the winter months.*

4. Our LED propagators use the right part of the visible spectrum (more blue light 450nm) for effective vegetative growth.

5. Bigger plants will be ready for outside quicker and start fruiting earlier and longer.

* In just two months an LED propagator effectively gives you 50% more light (or an extra month's growth compared to an un-lit propagator ) - a whopping 281 extra hours.

• Average daylight hours UK (Feb-9hrs, March-11hrs) Total 2x months = 663 hours of light
• LED propagator (on 16 hours a day) Total 2x months = 994 hours of light

Propagator costs just £1.50 for 2 month use (5w USB light 1kwh/5w = 200hrs. 1kwh approx cost £0.30p) £0.30/200= 0.0015 x 994hrs = £1.49
