Description

Pepper 'Jalapeno' brings a lively mix of colour, flavour and fun to any garden. It produces glossy green fruits that turn a deep red when fully mature, offering medium heat that suits family cooking and everyday meals. This is the classic pepper used for pizza toppings, nachos and quick salsas, and it is surprisingly easy to grow at home.

Plants reach around 60cm and form a tidy, upright shape that sits well in patio pots, containers and sheltered growing spaces. They enjoy warmth and produce peppers up to 10cm long, each one packed with flavour. As the fruits change colour, the taste deepens and the heat becomes more noticeable, giving gardeners a chance to pick at different stages depending on how much spice they enjoy.

This variety performs reliably through the summer, producing an attractive display as well as a practical crop.

Supplied as a set of 6 plug plants, ready to grow on before planting out.

Top Tips
  • Provide support with a small cane or stake if plants grow tall or become top-heavy with peppers.
    Care Information
    • Plant plug plants indoors or in a greenhouse from late winter to early spring.
    • Move outdoors after the last frost, typically in late spring or early summer.
    • Peppers thrive in a warm, sunny location with 6 - 8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
    • A sheltered spot protected from strong winds is ideal.
    • Use a light, well-draining soil enriched with organic compost or a multi-purpose potting mix.
    • Plant each plug 30 - 40cm apart in rows or containers.
    • Plant so the root ball is just below the soil surface. Avoid burying the stem. Firm the soil gently around the plant and water well after planting.
    • For containers, choose pots at least 30cm in diameter with good drainage.
    • Fill with high-quality compost and follow the same planting instructions.

    Ongoing Care:

    • Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply 1 - 2 times a week, increasing during hot, dry spells.
    • Use a high-potash fertiliser, like tomato feed, every two weeks once flowers start to form. This encourages healthy development.
    • Pinch out the growing tips when the plant is about 30cm tall to encourage bushier growth.
    • Remove any side shoots if the plant becomes overcrowded.
