Notes

'Jalapeño TAM Hot Pepper' (Capsicum annuum 'Jalapeño TAM Hot Pepper') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It sits low on the menu for deer. It grows 24 to 59 inches tall and draws bees and butterflies.

Pairs well with Tomato, Candy carrot, and Dark Opal basil.
