Chilli Jalapeno
Jalapeno chilli seeds are a classic choice for anyone who enjoys traditional Mexican or Tex-Mex cuisine. These extremely popular thick-walled chillies carry a medium heat and a distinctive fresh pepper flavour. While they are typically harvested when green, leaving them to ripen to red will give them a sweeter, more complex taste. They can also be dried and smoked to make Chipotle chillies!
Whether you're prepping a zesty salsa, spicing up nachos or adding heat to tacos and burritos, Jalapenos are a must-have. Milder than many other chilli seed varieties, they’re a great starting point for those looking to build up their heat tolerance. The plants are easy to grow and produce excellent yields, making them perfect for beginner home gardeners.

How To Grow
Sow Jalapeno chilli seeds 5mm (1/4”) deep in seed trays, or directly in fertile, well-drained garden soil or pots. Cover the seeds lightly with fine soil and keep them moist. Seedlings will appear in 7–21 days. Ensure your plants receive plenty of sunlight for healthy growth. Harvest as required, approximately 12–14 weeks from sowing. Pick chillies regularly to encourage further fruit growth. Caution: Can irritate skin and eyes.
