Type: Hot pepper
Sun / water: Full sun / water as needed
When I plant it: Late winter, early to mid spring. I start them in pots and transfer them to beds. They love summer heat but can show heat stress with yellowing leaves.
What I’ve seen
White blooms before fruiting into a new pepper. Peppers come in a wide range of spiciness, from Thai hot to American hot.
How I use it
Hot. Jalapeños can be stuffed, cut into rounds and canned, or dehydrated. They can be used just about any way you can imagine.
