Capsicum annuum 'Jalapeño'


This is the most common hot pepper in the United States, named after the Mexican town Xalapa. Jalapeo M average 3.5" X 1.5" in size, are thick-walled, moderately hot (5000 Scoville Heat Units) and start out green and turn bright red when they mature. As the fruit ages, the skin can develop a netting pattern, but this has no bearing on the taste. And peppers from the same plant may have varying degrees of fire. Peppers that grow quickly, get lots of water, and are extracted quickly can be milder than peppers that remain on the plant for a long time or mature slowly and under stress. Jalapeños contain vitamins A,B, K and C.

  • “My live plants were packed like they belonged in Ft Knox. 😂 They really were packed beautifully. Only one plant, a bee balm, is questionable but signs that it will recover are happening. All in all I am thrilled with my plants and seeds. Some of my coreopsis have already sprouted!”

  • “I’ve ordered seeds from Whitwam Organics 3 or 4 times now. I love the simple packaging, clear planting guidelines, and variety they offer. Great germination rates!! The bare root plants I’ve ordered have come healthy, so healthy that the wild rabbits always approve of my menu upgrades! 😂🐰”
