Grow Your Favorite Hot Peppers In Pots
Your guides to growing peppers in containers, spicy recipes, hot sauce & more
Featured Guides
Welcome!
I’m Jenny, the creator of Grow Hot Peppers, and I run this fiery site with my partner Jesse.
Our Mission: We’re here to help you grow your favorite hot peppers in pots (mild is okay too 😉) so you can make the spicy recipes you want without being limited to what’s in stores.
Why pots? Not everyone has land for an in-ground garden — container gardening helps you grow peppers in a way that fits your space. It’s beginner-friendly too!
