Can you tell me what are the easiest chillies to grow from seed? I want to grow them indoors for a plant in the kitchen.

Thanks, HP.

In my experience cherry bomb is easy to germinate and an early cropper.
Black Cuban is a pretty one to have in the house..

Hi, All cayenne varieties seem to do well in our area of Spain (Andalucia) which is hot and dry most of the time so these should do well indoors. Thai Dragon and Ring of Fire have been very successful.

For a kitchen window, you need compact plants and good light.
IMO, for the former you can't beat Prairie Fire. Bushy round plants, standing 12"-15" high and similar in diameter. Hundreds of fruits per plant, held above the quite dense foliage. One seed supplier describes the heat as "atomic". They're certainly hot and you won't need many when cooking. I grow them in a greenhouse, but will overwinter some in the kitchen for fresh chillies.
As well as good light (especially when they're getting going in the Spring), they need to be warm. But be aware that direct, hot, strong sunlight during the summer months (if we have such a thing), can frazzle the leaves. If it is really hot, put them outside.
Cheers.

i found rainforest & cveta hot as well as bulgarian carrot, big jim & most cayenne types to be very quick to germinate

I always recommend The Super Chilli F1 it never fails for me see:- www.chilefoundry.co.uk/?p=2008 for more information.
