Early Jalapeño - The best pepper for short seasons and cooler climates! These are one of the earliest peppers at just 65 days from seed to the first harvest. Everybody loves Jalapeños because they can be prepared in so many different ways. Jalapeño poppers, jalapeño jelly, and pickled jalapeños are just a few examples. Jalapeños have thick skin and just like their cousin the serrano pepper, they do not need to be roasted or peeled before using.
Pods are 3" long and 1" wide on productive 24" plants. Chipotle peppers are red jalapenos that have been smoke-dried for preservation. It's called early for a reason; it is the earliest jalapeño to mature each season. Capsicum annuum (65 days) Heirloom - Open-pollinated - Non-GMO
Heat Level: Very Hot Scoville 5,000 - 15,000
~ Packet contains 10 seeds.

In early spring, start seeds indoors 8 weeks prior to warm nightly temperatures. Place the seeds in sterile media and cover 1/4” deep. Provide 85°F bottom heat, bright light and keep moist at all times. Seeds will germinate in 7 - 21 days. Transplant seedlings into pots and grow until there are 6 true leaves on the plant. Plant them directly into rich soil, 30” apart or into large 5-gallon containers. Harvest chiles when they are green. If left on the plant a couple more weeks, the peppers will turn red at full maturity.

Customer Reviews
3 days of flooding rains followed by hurricane Helene, yhen several days of freezing, and my jalapeños in 3 colors survived and kept producing! Uncovered! I had JUST harvested all my garden, mostly jalapeños, but no chance to process them before power outage. Yes, I was a cry baby,and panicked for 10 days with my peppers probably rotting, closed in a powerless fridge. But guess what! They all turned their brightest proper colors, and I had my huge crop of peppers to can! But time progressed. We had freezes! I checked my plants just to see... MORE jalapeños! These seeds are remarkable, even from starting under grow lights, to doing so well in the garden. I'm sold on Sandia Seeds!
This variety is always a favorite in my garden. It grows well and produces great peppers throughout the summer and into the fall. with moderate heat.
I grew these indoors under a grow light, although I started with fluorescent lights. I'm a beginner and these had kind of a hard life with my lack of knowledge. They ended up giving us quite a bit of peppers though and they tasted great. I just ordered more jalapeno and bell pepper seeds. If you grow indoors use the best grow light you can afford, fluorescent lights can get you to seedlings but they have to be close.
These were our favorite last summer, we're growing the rest of the seeds out this year, every one sprouted and they were the first of our peppers to germinate. We're excited to be enjoying some jalapeno poppers and salsas this summer with these spicy gems. They turn red if you leave them on the plant to ripen!
