These small, fiery peppers deliver a powerful punch, with heat levels reaching up to 100,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). They ripen from green to a brilliant red, bringing intense spice and fruity undertones to stir-fries, curries, and soups. A beloved staple in Thai, Vietnamese, and Indonesian dishes, they are often used fresh, dried, or pickled to create pastes and sauces, such as Thai chili fish sauce. These versatile chilies not only provide heat but also add layers of flavor to desserts and snacks. The seed source was direct from a seed company in Thailand. When to Sow & Plant Start Thai Bird Chili seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date, using a heat mat to maintain soil temperatures between 75-85°F. Provide 14-16 hours of light daily to ensure healthy growth. Once the risk of frost has passed and nighttime temperatures consistently stay above 65°F, transplant the seedlings into the garden. Space the plants 18-24 inches apart in full sun and well-drained soil. These compact, bushy plants produce abundant pods within 75-90 days, perfect for a continuous harvest throughout the growing season.
