Description

Pepper Jalapeño (Capsicum annuum) is the definitive open-pollinated heirloom chili classic, celebrated worldwide for its versatile medium heat, thick crisp walls, and rich, earthy flavor. Producing sturdy, bushy 24- to 36-inch plants, it yields a prolific harvest of 3- to 3.5-inch, blunt-ended conical pods. The peppers begin as a glossy dark green before ripening to a deep, vibrant crimson red at full maturity. Ranging from 2,500 to 8,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), Jalapeño provides the perfect spicy kick for fresh salsas, home pickling, jalapeño poppers, grilling, and hot sauces.

Good to know

Highly productive, reliable heirloom that yields dozens of thick-walled, juicy peppers per plant over a long harvest season
Extremely versatile in the kitchen—excellent harvested dark green for traditional mild-medium spice or fully red for sweeter, hotter flavor
Thick pod walls hold up exceptionally well to grilling, stuffing, slicing, and home canning/pickling

Requires an early indoor start under lights and warm soil temperatures for successful seed germination
Pods can show fine white stress lines ("crazing" or "corking") under variable weather conditions, which is natural but purely cosmetic
