How to Sow and Plant

Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost or sow directly outdoors once the soil becomes warm. Sow seeds 0.25–0.5 inch deep in moist, well-draining soil. Maintain warm temperatures for germination. Transplant seedlings outdoors after frost risk has passed and soil temperatures remain consistently warm.

How to Grow

Grow plants in full sun with at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight. Use fertile, well-draining soil enriched with organic matter. Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist, avoiding waterlogging. Support plants if needed as fruits develop. Regular harvesting encourages continuous production.

Tips

Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest fruits when fully red for best flavor and paprika quality. Allow some fruits to fully mature for drying and grinding. Monitor for common pests such as aphids and caterpillars.
