Red Cherry Pepper — also known as Cherry Chilli, Cherry Hot Pepper or लाल चेरी मिर्च — is an exotic fruit vegetable from the Solanaceae family, native to Central & South America. This Capsicum annuum variety grows 40–60 cm tall with a compact habit and is ready to harvest in 80–95 days. Harvest profile: bright red (green when immature); small, round, cherry-like; 2–3 cm diameter. Key highlights: compact red cherry hot pepper seeds, dual-purpose ornamental & culinary.

This pack of open pollinated seeds (heirloom) delivers 70–80% germination, with seedlings appearing in 10–18 days. Beginner-friendly and low maintenance, Red Cherry Pepper grows well on Indian terraces, balconies, raised beds and kitchen gardens. It needs full sun (6–8 hrs), loamy, well-drained soil (pH 6.0–7.0) and moderate watering. For container growing, use Geo Fabric Circular Grow Bags or HDPE Rectangular Grow Bags — recommended size: 10x10 inch grow bag.

Sow Red Cherry Pepper in India during February–March and June–July, when temperatures sit around 20–30°C. Plants keep producing for 8–10 weeks, with an expected yield of 20–30 fruits per plant per season. It is perfect for pickling, stuffing (with cheese/meat), salsas, hot sauces and garnish. Grow it alongside tomato, onion and basil, plus flowers such as marigold and petunia — marigold and basil help deter aphids and enhance growth nearby. Looking for a similar crop?
