Growing chillies has become very popular over the last few years and for very good reason. A whole world of different chillies, that are not available in the shops, suddenly presents itself to you when you decide to grow your own. There are many different varieties available, in all colours, shapes, sizes and with different levels of hotness! Chillies need warm temperatures and lots of light and should be grown in pots either in a greenhouse or on a sunny patio or windowsill. Chilli plants are perennials and can be overwintered indoors.
