Thai Chili (Capsicum annuum)

Fiery Flavor in a Compact, Prolific Pepper Plant

The Thai Chili Pepper is a spicy, compact, and super-productive pepper plant that delivers an abundance of bright red, slender chilies perfect for bringing heat and flavor to your favorite dishes. Common in Southeast Asian cuisine, Thai chilies are known for their bold, clean heat and ability to transform curries, stir-fries, sauces, and hot vinegar infusions.

These small but mighty peppers pack a punch—typically ranging from 50,000 to 100,000 Scoville Heat Units—making them hotter than cayenne but with a more flavorful, lingering heat. Thai chili plants are fast-growing, easy to care for, and ideal for containers, raised beds, and edible landscapes.

They thrive in full sun, warm temps, and well-draining soil, and reward growers with dozens of peppers per plant, even in small spaces. A must-have for spicy food lovers, herbalists, and culinary gardeners!
