The jalapeno is a medium sized chili pepper named after Xalapa, Veracruz, where it was traditionally cultivated. The growing period is usually between 70 and 80 days with plants standing two and a half to three feet tall. A plant will generally produce 25 to 35 pods and can be picked multiple times, making it a favourite amongst growers.
The peppers can be eaten green or red and are good in many types of cooking, pickled or simply sliced on top of pizza. At the Devil’s Garden we have three kinds of Jalapeno Chilli Seeds for you to choose from:
The Jalapeno Purple is a beautiful ornamental plant producing bulled-shaped jalapenos that are usually larger than the average green version, with a medium heat and are excellent used in salads or fresh salsas. The plant itself is very productive, especially if benefiting from direct sunlight, with bright multi-coloured leaves that go from dark purple to deep green with a veined effect. The peppers will eventually turn red at full maturity but the flavour is better when purple still.
Jalapeno Early Chilli Peppers are very popular due to their excellent flavour and mild heat. From only one Jalapeno Early plant you should get around 30 bullet shaped pods going from dark forest green to brilliant scarlet red. The Jalapeno Early is such a vigorous plant that you should get a continuous crop over a few weeks. The peppers can be eaten either green or red and are perfect used on nachos, pizzas, fresh or pickled.
The Tam Jalapeno is great for kids to cultivate as these chilli peppers are relatively mild so children can have the satisfaction of seeing their plant grow and eat the fruit as a reward afterwards! This chilli pepper is a derivative of the traditional Jalapeno but is milder although still packed with flavour. The pod turns red when fully ripe but it is better to consume it when still green and goes with pretty much anything!
Although not the spiciest chilli out there the Jalapeno chilli plant is easy to grow with a fruit that is extremely versatile and mild enough for everybody to enjoy!
