Paprika pepper seeds — sweet peppers for drying and powder

Paprika peppers are sweet to mildly warm peppers grown especially for drying and grinding into the rich, smoky-sweet spice — though they're delicious fresh too. They belong to the Capsicum annuum family within our pepper and fruiting vegetable ranges. New to growing? Our vegetable growing guide covers the basics.

Paprika peppers need an early start — the calendar shows when to sow.

Sweet peppers for the spice rack

Grown just like other sweet peppers, paprika types ripen to deep red and are then dried and ground. They love warmth and do well under cover or in our container range in a sunny spot.

Growing paprika peppers from seed

Sow indoors in late winter, pot on, and grow in a greenhouse or the sunniest spot once it's warm. Let the fruit ripen fully to deep red for the best colour and sweetness, then dry it thoroughly before grinding.
