Discover the joy of homegrown flavor with Alma Paprika Pepper Seeds, one of the best varieties for drying, grinding, or enjoying fresh. These heirloom peppers are a kitchen staple, offering a sweet taste with just a hint of warmth. Perfect for elevating your culinary creations.

Why Choose Alma Paprika Pepper Seeds?

This popular heirloom variety produces 2” round, thick-walled peppers that transition from creamy white to vibrant orange, then deep red at maturity. The compact 24” plants are highly productive and easy to grow, making them ideal for both garden beds and large containers.

Versatile & Flavorful

Whether you’re drying, grinding into homemade paprika, or picking them fresh for salads and dishes, these peppers deliver exceptional taste. Their sweet, slightly warm flavor profile (Scoville: 0-500) makes them a favorite for spice lovers and home cooks alike.

Easy to Grow

Start your Alma Paprika Pepper Seeds indoors 8 weeks before the last frost. Plant in sterile media, keep moist, and provide warmth (85°F) and bright light for optimal germination (7-14 days). Transplant seedlings into rich soil or 5-gallon containers, spacing them 30” apart. Harvest when peppers turn a rich red.

What’s Included

Each packet contains 10 GMO-free, open-pollinated seeds, ensuring a bountiful harvest of delicious peppers. Perfect for gardeners of all levels!

Slow germination

I started the seeds on March 20. Only three of twelve seeds have germinated. They are in a covered, heated container. The rest of the tomato and pepper seedlings (except the Red Ghost peppers) are doing well with excellent germination rates.

Sandia Seeds

Love this company. Got everything I ordered in a very timely manner.

Great flavor but poor germination

Zone: 6b
Germination rate: ~50%
This year I was trying several different types of paprika types to pick my favorites. The Alma makes a much sweeter paprika than what I would normally use (half sharp, half sweet) when making Hungarian dishes. Its lovely and lighter flavored, but I did struggle with germination and the plant was not very productive. If I grow again, will be important to have a robust fertilizing schedule. The Numex was more productive even with a 2x / season fertilizer application. Sandia Seed customer support did provide tips on germination so will use those next year too, though their germination was also relatively low (~70%). Recommend considering this for number of seed packets needed. If you like a paprika with no sharpness would pick this over the Numex.

Best smoked paprika!

These wee peppers make the absolute best smoked paprika! Their thick walls soak up the smoke flavor. They also make a delicious roasted sweet!

Española Improved NuMex Chile Seeds - Robust Flavor and Early Maturity

Dynamite xx Hot peppers, 4 heat lovers only!

I had looked high & low, and searched the web with many word combinations ‘looking’ specifically for my favorite chili, the Dynamite xx Hot… so I could grow my own. The peppers were sold in Colorado at select places during roasting season, but you couldn’t buy seeds for them… anywhere!
Finally, as luck and persistence would have it, I discovered Sandia Seed Company.
Thank you Sandia! I planted them and had a great crop this year. I plan on growing them every year as well as trying some of their other seeds,

Dynamite Green Chile Seeds - Extra Hot Variety at 12,000 Scoville

Prolific Peppers!

There's just something fun about growing a jalapeno that is light enough in color that some people think it's a banana pepper. LOL! I picked these just for color variety, and I'm very pleased that my plants have been loaded with them all season! We donated about 50 lbs of mixed peppers this year from our garden and I still had enough to freeze some and can more jars of recipes than we'll probably be able to use before next season. All my peppers were from Sandia Seed Company. I've never had such great pepper production before using these seeds!!

Big Jim Legacy Pepper Seeds - Flavor & Heat - A True New Mexico Chile

Tasty and prolific

This spinach germinated well, and produced way more spinach than I'd initially expected. It grew really well, was slow to bolt in the summer, and has a really nice mild flavor for salads or steamed.

Awesome peppers!

This was my first time growing these and I will definitely be growing them from now on. Great germination and very sturdy plants that have withstood some really high winds. Huge long peppers that are excellent green or red, very easy to peel skin.

Jalapeno to Chipotle

I got these to make Chipotle chilis. These fruit early and are mild-ish when green, but when they ripen, they are perfect for smoking and drying with great flavor and nice heat. Don't plant too many as they are quite prolific.

I had 6 plants that produced all of the tomatillos that I could use. I gave my neighbors enough for a batch of green salsa too. Easy to germinate and great producers. We live in a short growing season in the mountains of Idaho and they did great!
