Where Can You Grow Chillies?

Chillies are heat-loving plants that thrive in warm, sunny conditions across Australia. They can be grown in garden beds, raised planters, or large pots, making them suitable for both backyards and balconies.

Start seeds indoors in cooler regions and transplant after the last frost, or sow directly in warm climates. With regular watering and feeding, chilli plants can produce abundantly for many months.

Health Benefits of Chillies

Chillies are rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, and antioxidants. They also contain capsaicin, the compound responsible for their heat, which may boost metabolism, aid circulation, and support heart health. Adding fresh or dried chillies to meals provides both spice and nutritional value.
