Thai peppers are spicy chili peppers with a wide range of heat, and despite common belief, there is no single type of Thai pepper, with at least 79 separate varieties. These chilies fall in around 50,000 to 100,000 Scoville heat units. That’s about 23 times the average heat of a jalapeño. When growing, consider the plants love for heat and humidity and their need for a long growing season of between 100-130 days. If you live in a region with a shorter season, start the chili peppers inside eight weeks prior to the last frost for your area.
