Add authentic heat and rich aroma to your kitchen garden with our Native Long Green Chilli Seeds (Desi Long Mirchi).
Carefully selected from vigorous parent plants, these seeds yield slender, glossy green chillies (5–7 inches long) that mature to a fiery crimson red. Known for their strong pungency, deep heat, and heavy fruit-setting ability, they thrive exceptionally well in hot Indian climates, terrace garden grow bags, and raised beds.
Key Highlights:
Intense Heat & Aroma: Delivers the traditional sharp spice and fresh crunch essential for Indian tadkas, chutneys, stir-fries, and pickles.
Heavy Cluster Setting: Prolific bearing habit produces continuous flushes of long, slender pods over several months.
100% Heirloom & Open-Pollinated: Untreated, non-GMO seeds that allow you to save and replant seeds from your own harvest.
Tested High Germination (85%+): Healthy, resilient seedlings sprout within 7–12 days under warm conditions.
Naturally Pest & Heat Tolerant: Strong native genetics offer high adaptability to summer heat and common garden leaf-curl pressures.
