(Capsicum annuum) Thai Garden Bird peppers are small chilies, measuring 1-2 inches long, that pack an intense heat of 50,000 to 100,000 Scoville Units. The plants grow to about 2-3 feet tall and produce plenty of red and green peppers, perfect for adding spice to Asian cuisine, curries, stir-fries, or for drying. These peppers thrive in containers and do well in warm climates.
The Thai Garden Bird pepper grows best as a perennial in USDA Hardiness Zones 9 to 11, where warm temperatures and plenty of sunlight help it thrive. In cooler regions below zone 9—people usually grow it as an annual or move it indoors during winter.
