The Cabai Burung Putih - A Hot White Birds Eye Chilli 15 Seeds - AUS Grown!

Cabai Burung Putih — Hot White Bird's Eye Chilli Seeds — 15 Rare Heirloom Seeds — AUS Grown

Meet one of the most striking chillies you can grow at home: Cabai Burung Putih, the White Bird's Eye Chilli. Unlike typical red or green bird's eye varieties, this one ripens to a pale ivory-white, making it as much a garden showpiece as a serious source of heat. Popular across Indonesia and Southeast Asia, "cabai burung" (bird chilli) is prized for its intense, sharp heat and use in sambal, fresh chilli pastes, and everyday cooking.

These seeds are grown right here in Australia — not imported — so you're getting seed stock that's already proven to thrive in Aussie growing conditions.

🌶️ Why gardeners love this variety:

Striking pale-white fruit — a real conversation starter in the garden
Fiery bird's eye heat, similar to classic Thai chillies
Compact bushy plant, great for pots, balconies, or garden beds
Prolific fruiting once established
Ornamental and edible — looks great, tastes hotter

🌱 What you'll receive:

15 rare heirloom Cabai Burung Putih seeds
Open-pollinated, Australian-grown seed stock
Growing instructions included

🌞 Growing tips:
Start seeds indoors or in a warm spot, as chilli seeds germinate best above 25°C (77°F). Transplant once seedlings have their first true leaves and frost risk has passed. Full sun, well-draining soil, and consistent watering will give you the best fruit set. Expect white-ripening fruit roughly 90–100 days from transplant.
