If you like Aleppo peppers, also make sure to also check out our Paprika seeds, or our Poblano Pepper seeds, which have wonderful flavors similar to that of the Aleppo. You can also check out the infamous Guajillo Chile from Mexico, which also make a delicious chile powder and is often used in making Mole sauces.
Aleppo pepper plants are easy to grow from seed. They do take about 80-90 days from starting the seed to harvest, so if you have a shorter growing season make sure to start them in early 8+ weeks ahead of the last frost so that you can get robust plants growing before transplanting into the garden. You can grow Aleppo peppers in the ground, make sure to have well-draining soil and add compost for good health. Aleppo pepper plants can grow up to 4' tall, so you may want to provide some supports as needed. You can also grow these in large containers, ideally your pot will be at least 5 gallons or larger for ideal growing conditions – and make sure to use well-draining potting soil and provide plenty of drainage holes in the container. Aleppo peppers do not like soggy feet!

Aleppo Spice Mix Recipe »
Aleppo chile peppers, also known as the Halaby pepper, are brick-red peppers grown in the around the city of Aleppo near the Mediterranean Sea in West Asia. These peppers are typically dried, seeded and crushed and made into a Aleppo Spice Mix that tastes similar to Ancho chili powder, which is made from dried Poblano peppers. We'll work on carrying the Aleppo pepper in the future, but for now, make sure to check out the Paprika and Poblano (including our Chocolate Poblano pepper) which also make DELICIOUS red pepper powder!
