What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Turn up the heat with Thai Chili Pepper Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds. Also known as Bird’s Eye peppers, this heirloom Capsicum annuum variety produces slender, vibrant red chilies that pack serious spice—ranging from 50,000 to 100,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). Compact yet prolific, these plants deliver bold flavor and color for home gardeners and spice enthusiasts alike.

Perfect for containers, raised beds, or garden plots, Thai chili plants grow into tidy, bushy forms that fit easily into small gardens or patios. Their ornamental beauty complements their culinary value—these fiery peppers are ideal for hot sauces, stir-fries, curries, and pickled blends, or can be dried for long-term storage and homemade chili flakes.

Compact, Fiery, and Flavorful:

  • Intense heat level: 50,000–100,000 SHU
  • Compact, bushy plants ideal for small gardens and pots
  • Matures in 95–130 days after transplant
  • Great for sauces, pickling, or drying
  • Adds bright red color and bold heat to any dish

Why Gardeners Love Thai Chili Peppers:

  • Heirloom, open-pollinated, and non-GMO for sustainable growing
  • Reliable germination and strong yields in warm climates
  • Suitable for USDA zones 4–11 and container gardening
  • Dual-purpose plants—ornamental and edible
  • Excellent for seed saving and long-term food security

How to Grow:

  • Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before your last frost date.
  • Maintain soil temperatures between 75–90°F for germination (7–14 days).
  • Transplant outdoors after frost danger passes into full sun and well-drained soil.
  • Water regularly but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
  • Harvest peppers when green for milder flavor or red for full heat.
