Jalapeño Pepper Seeds (Capsicum annuum)

Grow one of the world's most popular peppers right in your backyard! Jalapeño peppers produce crisp, flavorful 3-inch fruits with the perfect balance of heat and sweetness. Enjoy them fresh, pickled, stuffed, grilled, or roasted. When allowed to fully ripen to red and slowly smoke-dried, they become the famous chipotle pepper.

Compact plants grow to about 24 inches tall and produce an abundance of cone-shaped peppers that mature from green to red. This reliable variety performs well in a wide range of growing conditions and is an excellent choice for home gardens and containers.
