Long Green Chilli, known locally as SB Type, is an elongated pepper variety with moderate pungency, popular for pickles, chutneys, and everyday Indian cooking. This Capsicum annuum open pollinated variety grows as a bushy plant 60–90 cm tall, producing long green fruit ready for harvest in 70–90 days.
Start seeds in a tray or nursery bed before transplanting — our Organic Potting Soil Mix gives seedlings a strong nutrient base. Beginner-friendly with moderate maintenance, this variety grows well in containers, raised beds, and kitchen garden plots.
Sow seeds in a tray during January–March, June–July, or September–November depending on your region, transplanting once seedlings are established and spacing plants 45–60 cm apart. This variety pairs well in the garden with Tomato, Onion, Carrot, and Basil — see our F1 Hybrid Chilli seeds to compare pungency levels between varieties.
