Where Can You Grow Capsicum?

Capsicum grows best in warm, sunny conditions and well-drained soil enriched with compost. These heat-loving plants can be grown in garden beds, raised planters, or large pots. In cooler climates, they perform best when started indoors and transplanted after the last frost.

With long growing seasons, capsicum rewards gardeners with heavy yields. Staking or cages may help support plants as they load up with fruit.

Health Benefits of Capsicum

Capsicums are rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, fibre, and antioxidants. Red and orange varieties contain higher levels of beta-carotene and lycopene, supporting eye and skin health. Naturally low in calories, capsicums are a healthy, hydrating addition to everyday meals.
