Why Choose Pepper Jalapeño Mild?

• Mildest Jalapeño Available: ~1,500 Scoville units — authentic jalapeño flavor with minimal heat, perfect for family cooking and crowd-pleasing dishes.
• Ideal for Poppers: Thick, meaty walls are the gold standard for bacon-wrapped, cream cheese-stuffed jalapeño poppers.
• Versatile Kitchen Pepper: Fresh salsas, grilling, pickling, roasting, hot sauces — this variety does it all.
• Reliable High Yields: Consistent, prolific production of uniform fruit throughout the season.
• Heirloom & Open-Pollinated: Passed down through generations — save seeds year after year.
• Non-GMO Seeds: Plants whose DNA has not been altered in ways that do not occur naturally through traditional breeding methods.

Planting Tips for Success

• Sunlight: Full sun — at least 6–8 hours per day for optimal growth and fruit production.
• Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0–6.8. Amend with compost before planting.
• Planting: Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost date. Transplant outdoors after soil temps reach 65°F.
• Spacing: Space plants 12–18 inches apart in rows 24–36 inches apart for proper growth and airflow.
• Watering: Water consistently; avoid waterlogging to prevent root rot. Inconsistent moisture can cause blossom drop.
• Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced fertilizer at transplant, then switch to a low-nitrogen, phosphorus-rich formula once flowering begins.
• Support: Stake plants as they mature — heavy fruit loads can cause branches to droop.
• Harvesting: Ready in 70–80 days from transplant. Pick green for mild, grassy flavor or allow to ripen red for a sweeter, slightly hotter taste.
