Jalapeño Pepper | Seed Start

Bring a little heat to your home garden with our Jalapeño Pepper Seed Starts!

Capsicum annuum

These popular peppers produce glossy, deep green fruits that mature to bright red when fully ripe, delivering that classic jalapeño flavor with just the right amount of heat.

Perfect for homemade salsa, fresh pico de gallo, pickling, stuffing, grilling, or adding a spicy kick to your favorite recipes, jalapeños are one of the most versatile peppers you can grow.

These productive, compact plants thrive in Louisiana’s warm growing conditions and are excellent choices for raised beds, vegetable gardens, and patio containers.

Growing Tips

Transplant your seed start into a larger container or garden bed once it has developed several sets of true leaves and has been gradually acclimated to outdoor conditions.

Space plants approximately 12–18 inches apart. Water at soil level, mulch to retain moisture, and harvest peppers regularly to encourage continued production.

Louisiana Growing Tip: Jalapeños love our warm weather but may slow flower and fruit production during extreme summer heat. With proper care, plants can produce into the fall until cold weather arrives.
