Characteristics

Appearance

Jalapeno peppers transition from a bright green to a vibrant red as they mature. Their fruits are 8-10cm long, with a slightly tapering, blunt-ended shape, growing on medium-height plants around 70-90cm tall.

Taste Profile

Renowned for its mild to medium heat and tasty flavor, Jalapenos are a staple in Mexican cuisine, used fresh in salsas, baked when stuffed, or sliced atop pizzas and nachos.

Yield

These peppers are high-yielding with a continuous fruit setting. They are tall growers, reaching around 70-90cm in height, and are known for their productive nature, especially when provided with ample sunlight and warm temperatures.

Growth Type

Jalapenos are typically grown as annuals in the UK, thriving in well-draining soil and requiring support as they grow taller.

Cultivation Environment

Best cultivated in a sunny, sheltered spot, these chillies can be grown in greenhouses, polytunnels, or outside beds post-frost season. They appreciate a warm climate and are sensitive to frost.

Reliability

With proper care and conducive growing conditions, Jalapeno plants are reliable producers, offering a steady yield throughout the growing season.

Cultivation Notes

Sow indoors from January to April at a minimum temperature of 20℃, transplanting outdoors post last frost. Regular watering, weekly feeding with a high-potash tomato fertiliser, and providing support with canes are essential for optimal growth.
