Thai Chilli – Bird’s Eye Chilli

Bring authentic Southeast Asian heat to your home garden with our Thai Chilli – Bird’s Eye Chilli plant. This popular chilli produces small, slender fruits known for their intense heat and distinctive flavour.

Bird’s Eye chillies are widely used in Thai and Southeast Asian cooking and are perfect for adding heat to curries, stir-fries, dipping sauces, sambals, chilli pastes and marinades. The fruits can be harvested while green for a sharper fresh flavour or allowed to mature to red for a richer chilli character.

The plant performs best in warm conditions, full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. It is well suited to pots, courtyards, balconies and backyard vegetable gardens, making it an excellent choice for home cooks who enjoy growing their own fresh chillies.

For the best growth, keep the plant consistently watered during hot weather without allowing the soil to remain waterlogged. Regular harvesting can encourage continued production during the growing season.

A great choice for chilli lovers looking for a compact, productive plant with plenty of authentic Thai-style heat.
