Pepper Jalapeno Early is an heirloom pepper plant native to North America, South America, and the Caribbean. This variety performs better in cooler climates, producing hot, skinny fruits 2.5-3" long, with a bold, spicy flavor and Scoville rating of 2,500-5,000. Jalapenos are the hottest harvested as they begin to turn red and become slightly sweeter fully ripened to red. This classic pepper is a staple in Mexican dishes and obvious addition to the kitchen garden. Upright plants grow 18-36" tall and 12-24" wide, flourishing in full sun in the vegetable garden or large containers with regular water and warm weather. For a mild pepper, grow Cubanelle.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
