Why grow regular green jalapenos, when you can grow orange ones?

Fruit colour starts green when unripe. Fruits ripen into a candy orange colour, with a very strong heat level. Some sources say its SHU is 8000. But, I’ve found competing information that claims this variety is 80,000 SHU. I think it’s best to grow out yourself and make that decision.

Heat will be lower when green and underripe. Flesh has a nice thickness, with plenty of juice and a great crunch!

Growing Information:

Start seeds indoors at least 8-10 weeks before the final frost date. Please refer to my Seed Starting Calculator for specific planting dates for your area. Use a heat mat to help speed germination, if the environment is cold.

Peppers prefer to grow in full sun. Transplant outdoors after all risk of frost has passed and space your plants at least 1.5 to 2 feet apart.
