Notes

'Jalapeno' hot pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Jalapeno') is a vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun. It is grown for salsa, nachos, chilis, fresh eating, and pickling. The dark green, conical peppers have thick walls, so the seeds are easy to remove.

Pairs well with Sungold tomato, Lime basil, and Lemon cucumber.
