Choose from desi chilli seeds, F1 hybrid chillies, colourful capsicums and distinctive pepper varieties according to the flavour, heat and fruit type you prefer.
Chilli Seeds for Regular Kitchen Use
Grow desi mirch and hybrid chilli varieties for everyday household cooking. The available range includes red chilli and bullet chilli options alongside other familiar hot peppers.
These varieties suit growers looking for fresh chillies for curries, chutneys, pickles and seasoning. Fruit shape, size and heat can vary between varieties, so use the details on each product page to select the type that suits your kitchen.
Jalapeño, Cayenne and Habanero Seeds
Speciality pepper seeds offer a wider choice of flavour and heat:
- Jalapeño produces thick-walled peppers commonly used fresh, stuffed, sliced or pickled.
- Cayenne produces slender hot peppers suited to fresh use, drying and seasoning.
- Habanero is a very hot pepper available in red, orange and yellow varieties.
Choose jalapeño for a moderate, recognisable chilli flavour, cayenne for sharper heat and habanero for much hotter sauces and recipes.
Capsicum and Shimla Mirch Seeds
Shop F1 hybrid capsicum seeds in green, red, yellow, white and purple varieties. These mild peppers are suitable for salads, stir-fries, stuffing, grilling and cooked dishes.
Green Shimla Mirch is a familiar choice for regular cooking, while red and yellow capsicums are valued for their sweetness and bright colour. White and purple varieties give home growers less common options for a more varied harvest.
Ornamental Pepper Seeds
Ornamental pepper seeds are suited to gardeners who want a decorative pepper plant as well as colourful fruits. They are a useful choice for sunny pots, balconies, patios and other visible planting spaces.
Refer to the individual listing for the expected plant habit, fruit colours and specific variety details.

Desi mirch, red chilli, bullet chilli and other familiar hybrid chilli varieties are practical choices for curries, chutneys, pickles and regular household use.

The collection includes green, red, yellow, white and purple F1 hybrid capsicum seeds.
Can chilli and capsicum plants be grown in pots?
Yes. Grow one plant in a well-draining pot or grow bag with good sunlight and enough room for mature growth.
Are habanero peppers suitable for beginners?
They can be grown at home, but they usually require more patience than common chillies. They are also very hot, so handle the fruits carefully and choose them only when that level of heat is wanted.
