This variety is more adapted to cool climates than the other jalapeños, and very vigorous.

Planting Instructions for Jalapeno Early Hot Pepper Seeds

Jalapeno Early Peppers are heat loving plants that are easy to grow, and do well in a variety of climates. Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost. Soaking Heirloom / Open Pollinated Pepper Seeds for 2-8 hrs before planting helps speed germination. Plant ¼” deep in chosen containers. Germination will occur in 8-25 days at 75-90°F. Keep soil evenly moist (not soaked) for best germination. Harden off Jalapeno Early Pepper plants, then transplant to the garden about 2-4 weeks after the last frost date. Plant Jalapeno Early Peppers in full sun, spacing about 12-18″ apart, in rows 24-30″ apart. For a more mild flavor, Jalapeno Early Hot Peppers can be harvested once they reach full size and are still green.

It is best to use a knife or pruning clippers when harvesting to avoid damage to Heirloom / Open Pollinated Pepper plant. Be careful not to get oils on skin, in eyes, etc. when harvesting.

    I wish I had started more. I only had 1 plant but it produced at least 36 peppers starting only a few weeks after transplanting. I also want to note I have very hot, dry summers(Salt Lake, UT) which didn’t bother the plant at all. Watered raised bed deaply about 2x/week during hottest days. These are a must have in my garden and I will be planting more next summer
