Sweet pepper seeds — bell and sweet Capsicum annuum

Sweet peppers bring colour and crunch to the summer plot — blocky bells, long ramiro types and sweet snacking peppers, all mild and juicy. They're part of the Capsicum annuum family within our pepper range and a star of the wider fruiting vegetable selection. New to growing? Our vegetable growing guide covers the essentials.

Peppers need an early start. Sow indoors in late winter for a long season — the calendar shows when.

Sweet vs hot peppers

If you like a kick instead, see our chilli peppers — the two grow in exactly the same way. Both are tender, sun-loving crops that do brilliantly under cover or in our container range on a warm patio, alongside their cousin the tomato.

Growing a heavy crop

Start early and warm, pot on as they grow, and feed regularly once flowering with a high-potash feed (our feeding guide explains). Tall plants laden with fruit may need a cane — see the plant supports guide — and good airflow helps avoid common diseases.

Short season where you are? Grow peppers in a greenhouse, polytunnel or sunny windowsill for reliable ripening.

Frequently Asked Questions

When do I sow sweet peppers?
Early — late winter to early spring, indoors — to give them the long, warm season they need.

Do sweet and chilli peppers grow the same way?
Yes, identical method — only the heat of the fruit differs.

Do peppers need a greenhouse?
Not essential, but warmth and cover improve ripening in cooler climates.

Why won't my peppers ripen to red?
They simply need more heat and time — start early and keep them warm and sunny.

Can I grow peppers in pots?
Yes — large pots in the sunniest spot, or under cover, work very well.
