Purple Cayenne Chilli Seeds – Rare and Exotic Chilli for Indian Gardens

Purple Cayenne is a striking chilli variety known for its vibrant color and bold heat. The fruits mature from deep purple to bright red, making it both ornamental and functional. It grows well in warm and humid conditions and is suitable for most regions across India during summer and early monsoon seasons.

Start by sowing the seeds in nursery trays or seedling pots. Sow about half an inch deep in moist, well-drained soil. Germination typically occurs within 7 to 10 days. Once the seedlings reach 4 to 5 inches in height and develop 4 or more true leaves, transplant them into garden beds or containers with 18 to 24 inches spacing between plants.

Purple Cayenne plants require full sunlight, regular watering, and good air circulation. Add organic compost every 15 to 20 days. Flowering starts in 40 to 50 days, and the fruits begin maturing in 70 to 90 days. Harvest when chillies are firm and reach their full color stage for best flavor and appearance.

This variety is perfect for terrace gardens, grow bags, or decorative edible landscaping. Its unique color and strong spice make it a premium addition to any home garden.
