Capsicum 'Alma Paprika' Organic

Product Information

A traditional heirloom prized for its sweet, mild flavour and vibrant colour change from creamy white to golden, orange, and rich red. ‘Alma Paprika’ is ideal for drying and grinding into your own paprika or enjoying fresh. Its thick-walled fruit is prolific and compact, perfect for pots or garden beds. A Hungarian favourite that thrives in warm climates and rewards with exceptional flavour and versatility.

The capsicum family have a greater demand for heat than tomatoes, so in cooler areas start your capsicums indoors so that they can be planted outside as advanced seedlings after the risk of frost has passed. Choose a warm, sunny spot and cultivate it deeply adding dolomite to supply the capsicums need for calcium and magnesium. Regular harvesting improves the productivity and vigour of the plant. Pick the fruit using secateurs to avoid damaging the plant and wear gloves when harvesting chillies!
