Where can I buy Chilli plant from?

Hi all,

I'd like to buy a Chilli plant but can't find one anywhere - is it the wrong time of year? If so - when & where can I get one please?

Many thanks

Tracy

  • Well my hubby bought one last week in homebase! Not sure if they still have them.

    Hope this helps.

    Hiya Tracy, Yes it is a bit late to buy chilli plants. But buy some fresh chillies from supermarket, let them dry off then sow the seeds in heat next spring. I'm a chilliholic!!! Not so sure it's allowed on MSE but PM me if you want seeds - got loads
    :grouphug: A smile, a 'please' and a 'thank you' cost nothing

    It isn't allow to swap names and addresses.

    If you want to get Chilli seeds then go over to this site- http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/grapevine/seed-swap/
    I'm not cynical I'm realistic :p

    (If a link I give opens pop ups I won't know I don't use windows)

    Ollie - is that you???

    Most nurseries and garden centres have chilli plants going for a song at the moment...as they are nearing the end of the season. Have a scoot round the veg section and see if you can find one.

    Good idea - so I searched ebay for 'chilli plant' - innocent enough - but it came back with Red Peter P***s Pepper chilli plants :eek: are they for real??

    Was going to post a link so you could all see the graphic ;) picture but not sure if I'm allowed?
