Chili peppers come in a huge range of shapes, colors, and sizes that will grow happily in containers. If you don’t have masses of space, it needn’t stop you getting a great harvest as chilis can thrive in pots in a small yard, deck, patio, or balcony.
Whether you prefer milder or spicier chilis, they will grow happily in containers provided they receive six to eight hours of direct sunlight each day and are in a good potting mix. I have had lots of success with chili peppers in pots during my time growing crops for chefs in walled kitchen gardens, and have also cultivated them in a home courtyard garden.
