America’s Favorite Hot Pepper — Bold, Clean Heat Every Time
Jalapeño (Capsicum annuum) is America’s most beloved hot pepper — thick-walled, cone-shaped fruits measuring 3–4 in long that deliver bold, clean heat. Vigorous plants bear heavily all season. Pick green for maximum heat or allow to ripen red for a slightly sweeter flavor. Essential for salsas, nachos, pickling, and cheese sauces.

Growing Tips
Plant in full sun with rich, well-draining soil. Amend the planting hole with compost and feed every 2–3 weeks for the first 6 weeks. Mulch the base with 1–2″ of compost to retain moisture. Keep indoors during cold snaps below 55°F.
Harvest Tips
Harvest with clean garden scissors when fruits are firm and dark green. Frequent harvesting encourages new bud formation and extends the productive season.
