Chilli Seeds for a new Season

Even in the colder parts of the United Kingdom it is possible to grow your own chilli peppers from seed, January to February is the perfect time for planting. Although your chilli seeds can be planted any time until May, getting an early start will give your plants more time be ripe for the summer.

When you purchase your chilli seeds from The Devil’s Garden, you can rest assured that you will receive quality chilli seeds, and with free delivery too! All our seeds are from DEFRA registered suppliers to make sure you get the best chance of growing a successful chilli plant crop.

To help your plants produce a better yield we also stock ‘Chilli Focus’, a nutritional feeding program from Growth Technology which is designed to assist your plants in producing bountiful colourful yields.

We keep a large stock of chilli seeds from the Black Hungarian to the Fatalli Chilli. In with all the usual suspects, Jalapeno, Anaheim, Scotch Bonnet and the like... we also have a selection of seeds from unusual plants such as Bishops Crown and Habanero Chocolate. No matter which chilli plant you’re looking for, it’s likely to be here at The Devil’s Garden.

Get the best start with Growth Technology’s Root Riot!

When it comes to growing plants from scratch, people are left with numerous choices influenced by the latest fashion and commercial whims which makes it difficult sometimes to keep an objective eye.

After researching several options we at the Devil’s Garden decided to stock Growth Technology’s Root Riot cubes. These cubes (available as a tray of 24 or refill bag of 100) are just fantastic as they allow you to get sturdy and healthy young plants that can then be potted on or planted out.

The cubes are supplied already moist and are inoculated with beneficial bacteria to accelerate the rooting process as well as micronutrients to nourish the young plants as they develop.

Growth Technology Root Riot Propagation Kit is also great if you want to avoid trailing the shops for equipment. The kit includes full instructions on how to plant seeds or cuttings, 24 Root Riot cubes, 100 ml of nutrient solution, a bottle of Clonex (rooting hormone gel), plant labels, a black pencil and even a sterile scalpel!

If you want to really go all out take a look at our range of hydroponics from Greenhouse Sensations. From small ones that can fit on your window sill to full on SolarGrow, QuadGrow or OctoGrow, hydroponics are great to use when the time comes to repot you seedlings.

We have had some fantastic results over the years and although we still grow plants using traditional methods we always come back to propagation products like Growth Technology Chilli Focus, Root Riot cubes and the use of hydroponics.

Spotlight on Chilli Focus

Now is the perfect time to start your crop of chillies for 2011, so we thought we would bring to you some of the best fertilizer on the market, specifically manufactured for the needs of chillies.

Whether you are an experienced grower or just beginning to learn about chilli peppers, Chilli Focus from Growth Technology is the real deal to help you grow healthy and vigorous plants encumbered with colourful fruits (see our chilli seeds section for rare and popular chilli plants!).

Chilli Peppers have specific nutritional requirements and although one can get good results growing with traditional methods, we find that the extra push from Chilli Focus really makes a big difference.

Chilli Focus which in itself is a feeding programme for chillies is manufactured from the purest and most soluble mineral salts. It is fortified and enhanced with a complex profile of organic plant acids and contains no urea which is partly what sets Growth Technology apart from other competitors.

We have already started using some of that Chilli Focus (available in bottles of 300 ml or 500 ml) on our young chilli plants and the results are great. The leaves are plentiful and of a healthy green and you can tell that the plants are truly loving their vitamin boost!
