Where to grow

The key to growing successful chillies is to find a sunny, sheltered spot and keep them regularly watered and fed.

The great thing about chillies (and sweet peppers) is that there are so many varieties to choose from. You can find a variety that is perfectly matched to your growing space and location.

Small varieties such as ‘Apache’ are perfectly at home on the windowsill but if you have the space in your greenhouse there is a vast array of flavour sensations to tantalise your taste buds.
