Pumpkin Spice jalapeño was developed by New Mexico State University in 1995. The 2-1/2" long fruits ripen from green to a pumpkin orange color. Excellent in fresh salsas or pickled. It is hot, but nothing close to the Orange Spice jalapeno that has triple this jalapeno's heat. When Pumpkin spice plants are covered with peppers they are very ornamental.
This jalapeño begins green then turns orange at maturity. The pods grow up to 2 1/2” long and have thick flesh. This pepper has a spicy fruity jalapeno flavor. Plants are 24” tall. Capsicum annuum (65 days)
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 peppers when they are full size and orange.
We started these jalapeno seeds indoors under lights and had great germination. The plants grew well in 5 gallon pots and produced a lot of jalapenos. We used them for poppers and salsas, and couldn't be happier. We used them both green and when they turned orange. Great jalapeno flavor, and nice orange color when fully ripe.
