Description

The pizza pepper! An earlier ripening Jalapeno with longer, slightly tapered fruits up to 1/2in.

Traditionally the fruits are picked green, but can be left to ripen red. The unusual 'scarred' skin is a desired trait of the Mexican Jalapeno.

Sowing Instructions

Sow on the surface of a free draining sowing mix and cover with a fine sprinkling of sowing mix or vermiculite. Place in a propagator at 18-21C (65-70F) until after germination, which takes 7-10 days. Do not exclude light as this helps germination.

Growing Instructions

Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots. Plant in final situation when plants are 10cm (4in) high, 45cm (18in) apart.

For indoor crops, plant into growbags or pots. For outdoor crops, acclimatise plants to outdoor conditions for a few days before planting in sunny, fertile, moist, well drained soil, after all risk of frost.

Aftercare Instructions

Feed plants weekly with a high potash tomato fertilizer once first fruits have set.
