Capsicum annuum
Native to the ancient Syrian city of Aleppo, this Eastern Mediterranean variety—also known as Halaby pepper—is beloved for its complex flavor and mild heat. The Aleppo chili pepper matures into slender, four-inch-long fruits with wrinkled, deep red skin. Traditionally sun dried and coarsely ground, it’s the source of the famous Aleppo pepper flakes, a flavorful staple in Middle Eastern kitchens.
With a mild heat just above that of a jalapeño and a rich, slightly smoky sweetness, Aleppo-style pepper is the ultimate flavor enhancer. Its fruity, raisin-like notes pair beautifully with roasted meats, vegetables, and even sun-dried tomatoes. Use it wherever you’d reach for red pepper flakes or crushed... More

Its fruity, raisin-like notes pair beautifully with roasted meats, vegetables, and even sun-dried tomatoes. Use it wherever you’d reach for red pepper flakes or crushed red pepper—from eggs and potatoes to grilled vegetables or roasted chicken. These peppers are often transformed into versatile chile flakes that add depth without overwhelming heat.
Plants are productive and reliable, maturing in approximately 85 days from transplant. For chefs and gardeners alike, this pepper offers a true taste of the Levant. Each packet contains a minimum of 25 seeds.

A handful of seeds you've saved yourself is worth more than a bucketful bought in a store—because those seeds carry a season’s worth of hard-earned experience. That’s why our growing guides go beyond planting advice to include comprehensive seed-saving instructions. Because ultimately, there is no more valuable a commodity than earned knowledge.
Peppers perform best in well-drained soil that contains plenty of organic matter and adequate phosphorous and calcium. Mulching plants with poly, paper, or natural materials will ensure consistent moisture throughout the root zone.
For earliest harvest, start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Sow seeds 1/4" deep in well moistened, sterile seed-starting mix. The ideal soil temperature for C. annuum germination is 85 degrees. For best results, place a grower's heat mat beneath trays until germination has occurred. Under ideal conditions, germination should occur in 10-14 days. Super hot chiles can take up to a month to germinate. Be sure to keep the soil moist, but not soggy, until germination has occurred. Placing a plastic dome over the trays will eliminate a need for frequent watering during the germination period.
After danger of frost has passed, set transplants 18-24" apart in rows 24-36" apart. Ensure that plants receive 1-2" of water per week. Avoid over-application of nitrogen as this can cause vegetative growth at the expense of fruit set.
Insect Pests
Biological controls such as Bacillus thuringiensis can be effective in controlling climbing cutworms. Aphids, flea beetles, and other hard-shelled insects can be controlled with an insecticidal soap solution.
Diseases & Other Problems
To prevent common pepper diseases like Phytopthora and bacterial spot, avoid watering plants at night or on cool, cloudy days. Excess nitrogen and/or insufficient phosphorous can cause pepper plants to become bushy and produce few blossoms.
Peppers can be harvested at any time but should be picked before they become soft or overly mature. Harvesting regularly will encourage further fruit set. Peppers can be stored in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days. Alternatively, they can be dried by hanging them or placing them on a screen or basket in a warm, well-ventilated location until completely dry.
CONSIDERATIONS:
Select disease-free plants that are true-to-type. Pepper plants are prone to cross pollination by bees, so precautions should be taken to prevent pollination by insects. Covering plants with mosquito netting is an effective method to protect against pollen contamination.
HARVESTING SEED:
Harvest mature, disease-free fruit that have developed their final color. Cut open fruit and use a gloved hand to remove the seed. Dry on a coffee filter or paper towel. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.
Note: We have noticed that pepper juice can leach through gloves. It is wise to double up if you are processing a large number of peppers or superhot chiles.
SEED LONGETIVITY:
Pepper seeds will remain viable for three years when stored under ideal conditions.
I am delighted with my experience with Thresh Seed Company! My Aleppos pepper seeds had a 75% germination rate...and the little seedlings are thriving. Even though I found these seeds late, I hope to squeeze in a harvest this year due to the prolonged growing season in California...I am growing thiem to give a "taste of home" to my marvelous Syrian neighbors.
Becky, and this company will be my "go to" seed company for future gardens. Many thanks for Becky's kindness and in this company's help in growing friendship gardens. These pepper. seeds are not easy to find!
Thank you for the kind words, Steve. We're so happy that you found us and delighted to hear that you're using the seeds to extend a welcoming hand to your neighbors. May your friendship garden flourish and bring blessings to all who partake of it!
Seedlings are 1.5". So far, so good.
Recently received and planted Aleppo seeds from Tresh Seeds indoors.
Four out of four have sprouted and are doing well, and will soon be ready for the garden.
I would say that they are doing very well !
Another review when later in the season, and we see how well the plants produce.
