New favorite

These seeds germinated really quickly. I’ve been making paprika for years and am so glad I found these Vince Hernandez peppers because they have a nice, complex flavor that stands up to being smoked. If heat/drought stressed in our Central Texas summers (110 deg, watering once a week), the peppers tend to get a little hotter — less hot than a jalapeno but not quite mild anymore. However, they still work great for paprika and those of you in less extreme climates probably won’t experience this. They’re not as thick-walled as Alma but much more prolific and are way more heat and disease resistant.

Healthy Seeds

The seeds are in my hydroponic seed starter and are already showing roots.

Fast shipping and great value. Looking forward to seeing them grow.

Gigantic harvest

Have been growing paprika peppers for years. This year planted 8 plants to be sure I had enough for paprika powder during the coming year. OMG. Just beginning the cooler fall temps when peppers have a huge production in my Zone 9A garden. I’ve started giving away regular and smoked paprika powder. I’ll be swamped with peppers for 2023. This is now our go-to choice for paprika. You can not go wrong.

Makes the best paprika I've ever had!

Zone: 6b
Germination rate: >85%
I wanted to grow my own paprika peppers to make family recipes from my Austro-Hungarian Great-Grandma. I'm so happy with these as they are productive and have amazing flavor complexity and the flavor transitions from sharp when first tasting to sweet when on the tongue longer. After turning red on the plant, I removed the seeds, dehydrated the pepper, and ground into paprika. Makes the best chicken paprikash you'll ever have!
Much more productive than other paprika varieties that I grew so will definitely grow these again!

Surprisingly prolific

I ususlly grow Alma for my dmoked paprika, but decided to give these a shot this year. Holy peppers, batman! These were crazy prolific! I've never seen do many fruits on one plant! They ripened very slowly, so i only got a few for the smoking project. However, they make excellent mild roasted red pepper! I will grow them for that purpose every year!

The most delicious paprika powder

I just got around to grinding the peppers I harvested and dried this past season and boy did the flavor knock my socks off! The aroma was enticing as well. The plants grew well (Zone 7b) and were plentiful. I dried mine in a dehydrator and used a coffee grinder to grind them. We left some seeds in for a bit more kick. I can't wait to grow a larger crop next year so I can share with friends!

Prolific producer

I planted two of these this year (zone 10B) . Even though I got the seedlings in the ground late (mid-August) they still grew well. Each plant now has 15+ peppers growing, all good sized. The taste is great; good for grilling or drying for making paprika.

Wonderful taste and a beautiful pepper!

I grew Sandia paprika peppers for the first time in 2020, and I have to say, it was one of the high points of a lousy year--not a lousy gardening year, but you know what I mean...

I started seed under lights in March, then moved them to my hobby greenhouse, and then to my garden in mid-May. The week after transplant we had 10 days of cool, wet weather, and they came through just fine. The yield was great. They tasted great. And, they're beautiful! I strung them up for pepper "mistletoe!" I already have my seeds for 2021 and can't wait to get them started again!

Never grew Paprika Before!

These grew wonderfully in our garden, I never knew what fresh Paprika tasted like, we ate some of them fresh just like any other pepper – we chopped them over salads or added to stir fries and tacos and burritos. They are sweet. We also let a lot of them dry in the sun for a couple days and then ground them up and add to all sorts of recipes – quite delicious and a brilliant red. We'll grow these ever year!
